Big Stick: Dramatic c. Early 1900s Odd Fellows Folk Art Staff with Polychrome puppet with snake 28 tiles in totalQuite a thing, found in mid coast Maine last weekend, and which I have very much enjoyed carrying around since!

With a beautifully carved face, black (finely eye lashed) eyes, long black beard
