In the year of 1976...  The Oklahoma Pharmaceutical Assoc. awarded the 'Bowl of Hygeia' which is depicted here to an honorable, southern gentleman from Carter County, Oklahoma.  The little bronze plate on the front, states the following:  BowlHygeia.jpg

 "Award for outstanding community service in pharmacy - Ernest D. Martin,  June 13, 1976.  "

On the back of the rather heavy rosewood plaque, the following words are inscribed....

"The 'Bowel of Hygeia' most widely recognized international symbol of pharmacy, had it origin in Greek mythology.  The Bowl, containing a healing potion, and the serpent, meaning wisdom of guardianship, were associated symbolically in Greco-Roman antiquity with the virgin Goddess of Health, Hygeia.  She was the daughter and assistant of Aesculapius (sometimes spelled Asklepios), the God of Medicine and  healing.  When A.H. Robins established in 1958 an award honoring community service by pharmacist, the 'Bowl of Hygeia' design was a natural choice to symbolize such a award, which is presented annually."

Besides being a southern Okla. pharmicist, Ernest D. Martin is also an accompliced artist trained at the "Chicago Art Institute " and a retired State Senator, District 14, 1964-1982 -- in southern Oklahoma.
