Skull & Snake Intertwined - Moose Antler Carving

Though reviled by many today, snakes were revered by many ancient cultures who used their venom to protect and poison. (You may remember that the caduceus symbol for medicine is two snakes coiled around a staff.) Snakes also symbolize rebirth and renewal. Combine the human skull with the snake and you have a powerful symbol of death and rebirth – and a one of a kind work of art. Hand carved from collected moose antler (a renewable resource) by local artisans in Indonesia. 2-3/4" high x 2-1/2" deep x 2-3/8 wide
