MONGOLIAN SHAMAN'S SNAKE (Item No. Ritual A08)

Price Including Postage: £19 (UK) £23 (World)

Origin: Mongolia
Age: New
Length: 980mm approx

These are hand made traditional shaman's snakes from Mongolia, meant to be attached to the back of shaman's coats. They are made of black material with a head with glass bead eyes. They are available in the colours of the elements, Red (fire), Yellow (Earth), Blue (Water), Green (Air) and White (Either). A random colour will be sent to you unless you specify a colour.

Only black snakes in stock at this time, other colours will be in stock soon.

Normally there would be many of these or similar snakes fixed to the back of the coat. When being fixed to the coat on no account are they to be stitched to the coat directly. To stick a needle into the snake is considered very bad and should never be done as it is said it will annoy the snake spirit which will seek revenge on you. Instead you stitched the snake by making a loop or series of loops which holds the snake against the coat and stops it falling off.
