He's a cold-hearted snake
Look into his eyes
Oh oh oh
He's been tellin' lies
He's a lover boy at play
He don't play by the rules
Oh oh oh
Girl don't play the fool--no
Paula Abdul and Elliot Wolfe, 1989
This slinky serpent is either charming, or is being charmed by, the lithe and lovely lady curled up on his coils. A very unusual creation by Galluba and Hofmann, this 4.25 inch tall and 4.5 inch wide china figurine is stamped underneath in green with the company's intertwined “G” and “H” inside a crowned shield and incised “40.” The encircling snake forms a shallow dish, perhaps for holding powder or trinkets (or maybe an apple?).
As they stare into each other's eyes, one wonders who is hypnotizing whom.
