INSPIRE, ENHANCE

This striking etching of an artistically stylized coiled snake is translated into pure black glass for a spectacular conversation piece. Adapted from an antique 19th-Century paper engraving in paper into a beautifully textured glass engraving. Snakes have fascinated all humans and cultures since the beginning of time! Found on every continent except in the Arctic, and often depicted in art throughout the centuries, they are mesmerizing and beautiful. Snakes represent the power and mystery within the animal kingdom and are symbolic in many cultures of a magical protective entity, and of fertility. The snake is one of the 12 celestial animals of the Chinese zodiac, symbolizing wisdom, wit, and sensuality. Snakes have also been widely revered in ancient Greek mythology and are seen as a symbol of wisdom and knowledge, as well as healing, which is why its form is integral to the medical Caduceus symbol.

Available in 26 inches x 14 1/2 inches x 1/4 inch thick and weighs 8 lbs., with different mounting hardware, it looks elegant on an easel or a wall.
