@sugar @Gargron Fun fact: The item the man is holding is not the Rod of Asclepius, which in myth was wielded by the Greek god of healing and medicine, Asclepius, but is actually a caduceus, which is associated with Mercury and Hermes (and is commonly confused with the Rod of Asclepius).

Yes, odd isn’t it. (Thank you US Army Medical Corps 1902. 🙄) So here we have commerce trying to hold back death, I assume unsuccessfully. The sculpture is therefore portraying the end of capitalism maybe?
