Cobra Snake Craft Toy

This craft toy comes from India, and would be good for nervous snake charmers!

Lift the lid of the basket and up pops - a cobra! Only a toy one, luckily. But the cantilever mechanism is quite ingenious, in that not only does the snake's head lift up quite a way when you remove the lid, it is also delicately balanced, so that the snake's head bobs this way and that in quite a realistic fashion.
