Vintage Articulated Green Toy Snake wax press Framed: 15 1/2" x 12

Framed: 15 1/2" x 12 1/2"

Thickly painted on wood panel and to my eye just beautifully aged

7 1/4 tall x 5 1/2" long x 2 1/4" wide and in great condition with a nice sense of age to the color

I really like the combination of strong straight lines on the black-painted structure with the unpainted zig zag chip-carved decoration inside and in between

He measures about 4" long x 2" wide x "1

Vintage Articulated Green Toy Snake wax press Framed: 15 1/2" x 12Just for fun. One sees there around from time to time, I think probably made in Japan 1950s 60s, but I do think the design is pretty brilliant, with the individually cast plaster composition connected via a cloth ribbon that runs the span of the snake and sticks out at the tail. A pretty good, perfectly imperfectly painted face too, with drippy red mouth and yellow around the black eye balls. 15 5 8" long and in very good condition.
