It was a rather unassuming piece of artwork, a small statue maybe 6 inches tall and seemed to be made of a bronze type metal. The one thing that did make it stand out was that even while it was small it was rather detailed.
It showed two figures, a man and a women embracing each other in a deep passionate kiss, the male figure’s arms on the women’s hips while the women had her hands rested on his chest/sides.
The thing that was weird was that neither of these figures where human.
From the waste down they had the bodies of snakes. The bronze color meant that the scales could have been any color however even with that lack of detail every scale on the long snakelike bodies of the couple was clear. One could even see where the scales transitioned to a flesh color.
Standing behind the two figures was an Egyptian style figure with a humanoid body only he was far more snake like. He even had a cobra hood and didn’t seem to have human flesh at all only snake scales. This god like figure’s own massive tail was wrapped around the outside of the statue making the base while the two lovers embraced in the center.
Overall it was an interesting piece of artwork.
It was also a ticking time bomb, a bomb that when it went off would take whoever was nearby into a different world and begin the process of transforming them into members of a new race of half human half snake people.
