Hippocrates Head Greek Physician Sculpture BUST
Item No. 5048
Hippocrates, a Greek physician (circa 460 to 377 B.C.) is traditionally revered as the father of Medicine. Few
details of his life are known to us. It seems that he was the son of a physician and that he traveled widely in
Greece and Asia Minor, teaching and practicing his art of medicine. The Hippocratic collection of writings is
generally attributed to him, but is more likely that it constituted a library of the medical school at Kos where
he taught. The collection deals with clinical subjects, anatomy, diseases of women and children,
treatments through diet and herbs, prognosis, surgery and medical ethics. The latter gave rise to the
famous hippocratic oath which is sworn to by modern physicians.
Made of cast marble and hand stained with antique finish.
Dimensions: 10"High (33cm) x 5.5"W x 6"L
Weight: 6 lbs
