Condition Report
This lot shows signs of age. The cobra body is in somewhat good condtion, but is facing some breakdown of the skin, as it has become brittle. The fur to the mongoose tail is also showing losses. The cobra face is also brittle, and has lost some scaling. The base is rather dusty, but is secure.
