Description
forgé et assemblé à l'imitation d'un veritable reptile, le corps ondulant constitué d'une succession d'écailles entièrement articulées, les yeux dorés et la gueule s'ouvrant pour révéler une petite langue fourchue
Condition
Good condition. The body of the snake has been slightly compressed in one area toward the end of its tail (on an approx. 2 cm section) resulting in one joint being somewhat loose, hardly noticeable, another joint is a little stiff, a few traces of red rust to the tip-end of the tail, but overall good.
