Caduceus symbol featuring a winged staff entwined by two golden snakes, commonly associated with medicine and healthcare.

About this clipart

This stylized caduceus features a central brown staff topped with a silver sphere and wings, wrapped by two golden serpents in symmetrical coils. Though frequently adopted by medical organizations in the U.S., the caduceus originates from Greek mythology as the herald’s staff of Hermes, god of trade, messengers, and negotiation-not healing. Its association with medicine stems largely from historical confusion with the Rod of Asclepius, which has only one snake and no wings.
Used on hospital signage, medical websites, pharmaceutical branding, and health-related publications; serves as a visual shorthand for healthcare services despite its inaccurate mythological roots. Matches user intent for educational, symbolic, or design reference queries about medical icons.
