Steve Turpin 2010 GA 8.75 Pottery Stump Face/Coral Snake Folk Art Sculpture

  

Whimsical folk art FACE stump with a Coral Snake twinning its way in one ear and out the other ear. Made and signed by Steve Turpin of Homer, GA.

Pottery tree stump with a tobacco spit like glaze with a folk art face jug style face with a red, black and yellow coral snake worming its way into the right ear and exiting the left ear. I wonder if there is some sort of religious connotations/meaning regarding the serpent in the ear of man? Clearly signed and dated on the bottom.

In great shape with no repairs or scratches.
