Fortune-telling snake
Abstract
The presented snake (Romani sap) is a prop for larcenous magic. The item was made of paraffin or stearin, mixed with some dye, probably powdered charcoal. The mass was formed into a shape of a tiny snake with a red bead eye. The snake was obtained as a gift during one research expedition to Bulgaria, in which the staff of the District Museum in Tarnów – Adam Bartosz and Paweł Lechowski – participated.
