Marble pillar with snake and wreath, Imperial, 1st–2nd century A.D., Roman, Marble, Pentelic ?, h. 14 5/8 in (37.2 cm), Stone Sculpture, This pillar may be either votive or sepulchral. The snake is both an attribute of the healing god Asklepios, suggesting this object may have been a thank offering on behalf of one cured of an illness, and a potent symbol of the underworld, alluding perhaps to a funereal function.
