Carved from one piece of wood in a spiral design, this snake has a conical head, carved mouth, holes/indentations at the eyes, and smooth tapered tail. It is marked with solid stripes of black, ivory, and red. A second black stripe is marked wiith dots of ivory and red. The eyes are almond-shaped black marks around a smaller hold/indentation. The body of the snake is oblong rather than round.
