Vintage Articulated Green Toy Snake 19th century math and the chalk drawings onJust for fun. One sees there around from time to time, I think probably made in Japan 1950s 60s, but I do think the design is pretty brilliant, with the individually cast plaster composition connected via a cloth ribbon that runs the span of the snake and sticks out at the tail. A pretty good, perfectly imperfectly painted face too, with drippy red mouth and yellow around the black eye balls. 15 5 8" long and in very good condition.
