Earlyish 20th C. Hand-carved Folk Art Snake in a Book Shaped Box heavy metal dice though there is a FaithThis folk art snake in a box, American, earlyish 20th c. I believe, is larger and more substantial than most I have seen carved I believe to pass for a book on the shelf and quite a satisfying one to release by sliding the lid! (And the wear to the paint on the lid where the snake hits it as it completes its emergence tells us it has been opened many times!) Great paint on the snake, with orange spots against black and red inside the mouth, plus
