The figure is one of four in the gardens undertaken by Andrea Carlo Lucchesi, sculptor, 1860-1924.
The figure is cast in bronze, and depicts a partly draped female with long hair clutching a bunch of lilies to her bosom, whilst trampling a snake underfoot. It stands on a bronze domical plinth.
Included as a work of sculpture of the aesthetic movement of the late C19 - early C20, one of four embellishing the formal gardens carried out for Lady Howard de Walden at Chirk Castle.
