WWI Turkish Prisoner of War Beadwork snake 6 Foot Beadwork snake made by Turkish prisoners of war.  'Turkish Prisoner 1918'  During the First World War, many of the Turkish POWs, captured by the British and the Australians, often used their spare time to make art and craft pieces to trade for food, cigarettes, or as gifts. They ranged in size from 2 to 18 feet long. They were used as a child's toy but it is also thought that they were used as a tailor's pin cushion that would rest around the neck and dangle down each side . The 'skin' is crochet beads and it is stuffed with horse hair.  This snake was made by a Turkish POW and brought home by a British soldier whose estate came up for auction after his death.  This lovely piece is in excellent condition and 6 foot is a very good size. 600.00
