A hand-carved wooden snake sculpture in the American folk art tradition. The carving depicts a serpent in a winding serpentine pose, likely following the natural form of a found wood branch. The head features a carved, open mouth with a red-painted interior and recessed eyes accented with red pigment. The surface is finished with a dark stain and exhibits traces of metallic gold- or bronze-tone pigment or leaf along the body. No maker marks, signatures, or labels are visible.
