An unusual combination of art and allegory, this stunning hand-printed book invokes the fascinating world of Indian snake mythology. These evocative fables about real and imagined serpents show the snake to be as much a creature of the human mind and imagination, as it is of earth and water.
A handsome museum edition, "SSSS: Snake Art & Allegory" has been co-published with the Musee Du Quai Branly, France.
Greek artist Ianna Andreadis' bold, flowing lines counterpoint the rich, teeming world of Hindu and Buddhist snake lore.
