Is that snake real? Incredible footage of a vintage snake-charmer automaton
My previous post was about "Zulma, La Charmeuse de Serpent" (Zulma, The Snake-Charmer) created by Gaston Decamps around 1907. VERITAS Art Auctioneers in Lisbon, Portugal will be auctioning off this rare automaton today, June 24th 2014 .
Here is video footage of the piece in question. Just incredible!

This looks like a similar, but different piece than the one from the previous post - are they in fact the same automaton with a different costume?
