This painted snake has been carved from a naturally spiral-twisted root or vine. The workmanship is primitive, and the color and sense of motion are striking. It is approximately 23 1/2" long, and curves to 5" wide and 2 1/2" high. The wood is very dense and dark brown: there is black paint on the head and tail, but the rest of the dark bands you see in the photos are the unpainted color. The age is unknown, but it is not new, possibly 50 years old or so. The condition is very good. The price is $150.00. Inventory Code: TPWC. Folk art snake ... Closeup of head ... Closeup of tail ...

This reptile and amphibian-covered stand is carved from diamond willow, with a soapstone base. The natural contours and ridges of the diamond willow have been carved into snakes, frogs, and salamanders, all very finely detailed with set in eyes and lines, spots, etc. The match holder (?) on top is incised with the words "F. Reichter, square bow, flat bottom, 1859 Minnesota River" and is supported by a brass hose nozzle. The silver paint looks fairly recent, but the snakes, etc. all have a very good, old, dark, patinated surface. The stand is 44" tall, the base is 9 1/2" in diameter, and the condition is excellent, with one old, probably original break near the base. The price is $750.00. Inventory Code: PHTS.
