WW1 Turkish Prisoner of War Beadwork Snake.

A wonderful piece of WW1 memorabilia in this charming snake, made from hundreds of tiny glass beads, sawn together to form diamond patterns on the back of the snakes body, while bright yellow was used for its underbelly.
These and other beadwork objects were made by the Turkish prisoners of war, as a way of passing the time and a way to make a little money for some rare luxuries.
This one comes in just amazing condition, I haven’t seen one in such good condition for a long time; it has no damage or repairs or loss to the tiny beads. A fabulous piece rare in this wonderful condition and with a piece such as this, condition is everything. It measures 23 inches long.
