Description:This stunning and highly detailed sculpture combines multiple natural materials and masterful craftsmanship. A snake carved from deer antler wraps itself around a human skull, hunting a frog, creating a dynamic and dramatic composition. The skull itself has been hand-carved from a solid piece of tamarind wood by a master woodcarver. It is crafted in two parts: the head and the lower jaw, connected with small wooden pins on each side, allowing the jaw to open and close. The teeth are carved from cow bone and meticulously shaped to resemble real human teeth, enhancing the realism of the piece. The natural grain of the tamarind wood adds depth and character, making this skull a true eye-catcher. A unique fusion of materials and artistry, it reflects both imagination and remarkable technical skill — perfect for collectors of unusual carvings or statement décor.
