Carved Wood Indian Snake Charmer

Nicely carved with lots of detail this indian snake charmer is playing his pungi and mesmerizing his cobra from his basket. Interestingly, apart from earning a living as a snake charmer, in history they were often the people you would call (you know obviously not on your mobile, they didn’t have smartphones in those days) if someone had been bitten by a snake as they knew how to deal with the bites.
