About this clipart
This black-and-white illustration depicts the caduceus, a symbol originating from ancient Greece representing Hermes (Mercury), god of trade, messengers, and diplomacy. Though frequently misused as a medical emblem-confused with the Rod of Asclepius (single snake, no wings)-the caduceus appears widely in U.S. healthcare branding due to historical military adoption. Its design includes a central staff topped with wings and two intertwined serpents, sometimes shown with a vesica or V-shaped element below.
This image is typically used on educational, historical, or medical ethics web pages to clarify symbol confusion, in logo design critiques, or in articles about medical iconography. It serves users seeking accurate symbolism, history, or visual identification for academic or professional purposes.
