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!

Great paint on the snake, with orange spots against black and red inside the mouth, plus
