Caduceous Tie Pin

944C
187 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

The caduceus was the magic staff of Hermes (Mercury), the god of commerce, eloquence, invention, travel and theft, and so was a symbol of heralds and commerce, not medicine. The words caduity and caducous imply mortality and senility, while the medical profession espouses renewal, vitality and health. This is a well executed enamelled stickpin set with small diamonds and two natural pearls, made circa 1890.
