# The Bronze Serpent

In reference to the episode of the bronze serpent, a creature is depicted on a column near Moses.

The damage to the sculpture suggests the presence of a capital. The decision was made to restore the column of the serpent, which, at the time, was often depicted with legs.

In the Middle Ages, serpents and dragons were sometimes conflated, allowing the restoration of this serpent to draw inspiration from the dragons carved on the capitals.
