Extremely wearable snake bracelet circa 1940. The body is made from articulated scales, with an alternating texture that enhances her scales in the light. She has ruby eyes and a smiley face with forked tongue on show, and a stylised triangular quiff. 
A great piece to stack with other gold chains and bracelets.
