Bottle with a Snake and Scorpion
Bottle with a Snake and Scorpion (Wine or Medicinal) Vietnam This bottle contains a real cobra and scorpion preserved in Vietnamese Liquor (At least we believe its medicinal Liquor). The only marking it has on it is Nana on the cap of the bottle. The seal does not appear to have been broken and the snake and scorpion are in remarkable condition. There is one other similar bottle to this in Live auctioneers sold history. That one claimed it helped treat For Rheumatism, Lumbago, Sweat of Limbs. This bottle does not say that however and we aren’t brave enough to brake the seal and test its contents. This is a great conversation piece. Please don’t drink it!. Bottle is 11 inches tall. Snake inside appears to be 4 or 5 ft coiled up.
