A snake skeleton arranged as a wave within an elongated vertical frame reveals the structure of a flexible vertebral column: vertebra after vertebra, with an arc of ribs along the entire length of the body.
The four bends of the wave are set at equal intervals; white bone on a black ground reads as a severe vertical ornament and gives the animal’s silhouette in its entirety.
