We found this fearsome girl, collecting dust in the back of a shut cabinet - so clearly she needed to be rescued and brought into the world! We have never seen anything like it, however have determined it to be nearly a century old via the previous owner and likely from Sri Lanka, brought back to the UK. Originally, it would have had 4 rows of teeth, however 3 have gone missing over the last 90 years. They would have likely held the matchbook, for lighting a cigarette, to ash into the bowl coiled within her tail. It's really quite an amazing (and weighty) thing and a lovely folk art sculpture for any home! Opto chose this in Hampshire, England Condition: Good Size: L 40cm x W 9cm x H 6.5cm Weight: 916g...more
