Holy Savior with Cosmas and Damian, Religious statue group on Charles Bridge, Prague, Czech Republic.
The sculpture depicts Jesus Christ in the center with Saints Cosmas and Damian on each side, holding medicinal vessels with inscriptions.
The Faculty of Medicine of Charles University commissioned sculptor Jan Oldrich Mayer to create this sandstone statue group in 1709.
The statues represent the connection between medicine and spirituality, with Cosmas linked to Hippocrates and Damian to Galen through inscriptions.
Located on the north side of Charles Bridge, this statue group underwent restoration work in 2011 to preserve its structural integrity.
The vessels held by the saints contain specific Latin inscriptions: 'SIC MEDINA POSVIT' and 'HIC MEDINA VITAE', marking medical significance.
