The most famous of the Govan stones, the sarcophagus represents a rare monument type in early medieval Scotland prior to the 12th century AD. It was rediscovered in the churchyard by a gravedigger in 1856 and was moved into the church in 1908. It is decorated with a hunting scene, different arrangements of interlaced beasts, and six panels of interlace, some of which appear to be interlaced snakes. It is not known what the lid might have looked like, but two complete drainage holes in the base of the monument (and the worn surfaces surrounding them) suggest that the sarcophagus originally acted as a coffin for the remains of a royal saint, but later functioned as a reliquary.

Usually Ouroboros is eating its own tail. This however is a calm one.

About Ouroboros

Ouroboros, emblematic serpent of ancient Egypt and Greece represented with its tail in its mouth, continually devouring itself and being reborn from itself. A gnostic and alchemical symbol, Ouroboros expresses the unity of all things, material and spiritual, which never disappear but perpetually change form in an eternal cycle of destruction and re-creation. -https://www.britannica.com/topic/Ouroboros

Some snakes, such as rat snakes, have been known to consume themselves. One captive snake attempted to consume itself twice, dying in the second attempt. Another wild rat snake was found having swallowed about two-thirds of its body.

Ouroboros The Calm

My sixteenth model I am uploading in regards to my entry for the competition: “Explorer of new worlds” (http://forum.humster3d.com/showthread.php?tid=76) is the beheaded Medusa without her snakes... But with reason. Until I had completed Perseus and decided on where the head was going to swing from and where to (Not to mention: Where to look at) I did not want to start on the snakes as they were just too many and fixing/changing their direction of focus would be too annoying and time consuming.
In place I have a simple hair ground with the rakeBrush. I am hoping to get a feel that like Benvenuto Cellini's medusa. I have the advantage of the digital medium. But seriously lack what I would claim "the necessary time" for such quality.

Wish me luck!

Ammonites were marine cephalopod mollusks with coiled shells that lived during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods (201–66 million years ago). They are common index fossils, featuring complex, spiral shells with intricate suture lines, used by scientists to date rock layers. Often mistaken for coiled snakes, they became extinct alongside dinosaurs.

Snakeskin Endler Guppy Male

金色孔雀王（寺伝原名：散脂大将）是京都三十三間堂內守護千手觀音的「二十八部眾」護法神之一，為國寶，創作於鎌倉時代，像高164釐米。其形象源於能喰毒蛇的孔雀所神格化的鳥神。雕像最大特徵是其戲劇性的 “割面相”​ ：呈現一張憤怒的新面孔從原有破裂面容中浮現的獨特造型，具有三目，戴有頰當，極富張力。其左手小指部分已破損缺失。此像展現了鎌倉佛師在表現護法神變幻與威嚴時的高度藝術創造力。
English Version
The statue of Golden Peacock King (temple tradition name: Sanchi Taishō) is one of the Twenty-Eight Deva Guardians protecting the Thousand-Armed Kannon at Sanjūsangen-dō. A National Treasure​ from the Kamakura period, it stands 164 cm tall. It embodies the deification of a peacock known for devouring poisonous snakes. Its most striking feature is the dramatic “split-face” composition: a new, fierce countenance with three eyes emerges as if from within the original split visage, creating powerful tension. The little finger on its left hand is damaged and missing. This statue exemplifies the remarkable artistic creativity of Kamakura-period sculptors in expressing the transformative power and majesty of guardian deities.

京都三十三間堂二十八中-No.21金色孔雀王

**Collection:** Prehistory and Historical Archeology Dept.

**Inv.-No.:** [UF-19884.377](https://www.online.landessammlungen-noe.at/objects/1009549)

**Material:** Gold

**Dimensions:** 1,43 x 2,36 cm

**Dating:** 150-350 CE

The piece of jewellery under consideration is a large gold ring in the shape of two intertwined snakes.
The ring was crafted in a distinctive meandering shape and featured snake heads at the ends as decorative embellishments. The presence of small knots is observable at the points where the meanders intersect. The scales of the plastic snake heads have been meticulously crafted to display a realism in their appearance. In the area where the ocular cavities should be located, it is presumed that gemstones or glass were inserted.

This object was digitized through the ‘Kulturerbe digital’ program of the Federal Ministry for Arts, Culture, Public Service and Sport.
