Default "Snake Eyes" Walking stick
Its about two snakes slithering around and the facial reactions of the spirits affected. About 7' long, carving work about 5' long. 7 faces altogether.

Wow, Jim, that is a VERY interesting stick, indeed! Looks like a lot of work to me! I love the differences in the expressions as the snakes work their way around. Wonderful stick! Bonnie
