[Blindtlk] An odd question: How would you describe the caduceus?

[Gary Wunder]

Maybe the way to get this, if feeling tactile drawings works for you, is to
contact one of the organizations which make raised drawings and actually get
the symbol under your fingers.

Subject: [Blindtlk] An odd question: How would you describe the caduceus?

I wasn't sure where to post this question. I'm trying to describe how a
caduceus looks (the medical symbol with the two snakes), but I haven't been
able to find any text descriptions...plenty of pictures, but that doesn't
help someone who doesn't have the sight to see it (myself). Does anyone know
where to find a good description of what a cadeceus looks like? I know
there's some kind of staff, two snakes wrapped around it, and wings
(where?), but I don't know details, and I really want to do a detailed
description.

Like I said, an odd request, but something related to blindness because I am
blind so I can't see the pictures, but need a text description. Better yet,
instructions on how to draw it in Braille, but I don't think that's out
there.

Thanks,
Jewel
