Description

A carved stone sculpture of a scaled, serpent-like body coiled into a tight knot, with its head lifted at the upper left. A fluted cylindrical element is held among the coils at lower left. The piece stands on a rough, irregular stone base against a plain pale backdrop, and the surface shows weathering and wear across the scales.
