snake head, The head and anterior part of the body of a snake in cornaline, or perhaps agate. Striking is the horizontal layering in the stone that runs exactly parallel to the hose body and head. Furthermore, this snake has had a possibility for inlaid eyes, whether these have disappeared or have never been there is unclear. Partially damaged at the bottom of the body, there is no part of the original end face to be seen. Traces can be seen in the form of horizontal, vertical and diagonal stripes on the back. Perhaps originally text (?) Has been applied, which for reasons of clarity have worn
