L500mm, China
This is a snake toy made of section of small bamboo, with each section held together by a small metal rod. Holding on to the tail section, it will become animated and move like a real snake ready to attack!

I have one of these that is marked “Japan.” It was given to me when I was a young child in the 1950s from a family friend who was in the U.S. Army. So cool to see a similar one here.
This is one of the traditional toy for my parents and my generation. I have seen similar ones still in small toy shops but they are no longer made with bamboo but a green colour plastic.
