Description:
Presenting a striking and substantial vintage solid metal sculpture of a rearing cobra snake.

This piece is beautifully crafted from a heavy, solid copper/bronze alloy (total weight 745g), featuring a rich, polished reddish-brown natural patina. The snake is masterfully detailed with fine, chiseled scales covering its entire coiled body. The head is elegantly gilded in bright brass/gold, creating a stunning, dramatic two-tone contrast that immediately draws the eye. It features a classic flared cobra hood and a forked tongue, capturing the majestic and menacing posture of the King Cobra.

The snake stands proudly on its coiled lower body, making it a stable and impressive freestanding desk or shelf piece.

Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The copper body has a beautiful, even patina, and the gilded head is bright and intact. No dents, cracks, or major scratches observed. Minor surface wear and natural oxidation are consistent with age. Please refer to all photos for exact condition.

This iconic serpent sculpture is a wonderful piece for a study, bookshelf, or eclectic collection, exuding a bold, exotic, and Mid-Century charm. See less
