This is an interesting item.
It is a Shaman's ceremonial wooden snake staff.
It is a repurposed old piece of wood or possibly a root.
This has come from a clearance, I would guess around 20 to 30 years old.
Appears it may have been originally painted as small traces of gold and green paint in places.
Length is approx 30 and a half inches.
This is a vintage item so marks and scuffs in places.
Please see pictures.
