Asclepius Statue — Hand-Carved Ash Wood Greek God of Medicine
Couldn't load pickup availability
This hand-carved Asclepius statue brings the Greek god of medicine and healing to life in ecological ash wood — crafted by hand in our family workshop with a warm varnish finish that highlights the natural grain. Calm in posture yet commanding in presence, Asclepius stands as the divine patron of all who seek to restore health and life: son of Apollo, student of the centaur Chiron, and father of the Western medical tradition.
His Rod — a single serpent coiled around a staff — remains the universal emblem of medicine to this day, and his ancient sanctuaries (Asclepieia) across Greece were among the world’s first healing temples. A powerful addition to any Hellenic pagan altar, healer’s space, or collection of classical mythology sculpture. Explore the full Greek god statues collection for companion pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size is the Asclepius statue and what material is it made from?
The Asclepius statue measures 8.0 in / 20.5 cm tall, 5.9 in / 15.2 cm wide, and 1.6 in / 4.3 cm deep. It is hand-carved from ecological ash wood with a varnish finish.
Who is Asclepius and what does he represent in Greek mythology?
Asclepius is the Greek god of medicine and healing — son of Apollo and raised by the centaur Chiron, who taught him the art of healing. His symbol, the Rod of Asclepius (a serpent coiled around a staff), remains the universal emblem of medicine to this day. His daughters Hygieia and Panacea gave their names to the foundations of Western medical tradition. Asclepius was so skilled that he could raise the dead, leading Zeus to strike him down — and later deify him as a god.
How can I use the Asclepius statue on a healing or pagan altar?
The Asclepius statue is a powerful centrepiece for altars dedicated to healing, medicine, and Apollo. Place him alongside herbs, candles in white or gold, and crystals associated with health — such as clear quartz, green aventurine, or amethyst. He is equally suited as a decorative piece for a doctor's office, study, or any space honouring the healing arts and Greek tradition.
