| Description Of Item | It is not known who created this bust of Asklepios (Asclapius), although it is possible that they came from a supplier such as Brucciani & Co. However, it appears to be identical to the bust of Asklepios which is found above the main door into the hall. The busts only appear to differ in their finish, with this piece being finished in white whilst the second bust of Asklepios appears to have been cast in terracotta and is left without a white finish. This contrasts with the other pairs of identical busts in the college (for instance those of William Harvey and Hippocrates), wherein both members of the pair are made from identical materials and given identical finishes.
A statue of Asklepios can also be seen on the College's main façade.
