Description
A photographic print of a stone-carved architectural embellishment featuring a caduceus symbol with two serpents entwined around a winged staff. The carving is enclosed within a shield-shaped frame and integrated into the larger façade of a building, specifically at the entrance to the Virginia Commonwealth University Health Sciences Library. The print is taped to a larger contact sheet using four pieces of masking tape. The photo includes numeric printer's marks in black and red ink and pencil along the top margin.
