Our Pewter Medical Theme Bookmark pays homage to the art and science of medicine. A single caduceus, lightly antiqued to bring out all of the detail, rests at the top of the highly polished Sterling silver over pewter bookmark. What a great gift idea for a medical student! The Pewter Medical Theme Bookmark is:
Sterling silver over pewter
Highly polished
2 5/16” length
1 3/16” caduceus wing width
The origins of the caduceus are thought to date back as early as 2600 B.C. in Mesopotamia, and there are several references to a caduceus-like symbol in the Bible (Numbers 21:4-9 and 2 Kings 18:4). “With purity, holiness, and beneficence I will pass my life and practice my art…” (From the Modern Version of the Hippocratic Oath)
