Species: Common Lilac (Syringa vulgaris)/Dimensions: 13.7 x 8.9cm

The artist's favorite Early Work piece after the very first. Snakes are difficult to carve as there are so many intertwining lines and angles which must be seen with the minds eye, and carved while maintaining that vision. The outside shape of this Lilac leaf was altered, a practice which Dessie now avoids.
