Beneficial rattlesnakes keep the rodent population down which reduces tick-borne illnesses. Realistically carved from Picasso marble, a grey-hued inclusion starting at the mouth resembles a natural heartline or breath path in Paulette and Farlan Quam's coiled
Snake. Intricate etching makes for stunning scales, while watchful eyes are from turquoise inlays. A tiny offering necklace with branch red coral and turquoise beads is meant to give thanks for how reptile's keep ecosystems healthy and in balance the way Mother Earth intended. About 2 1/2" tall, 2 3/8" wide and 2 7/8" deep.
