S e c r e t s:
The cobra is a venomous snake, whose elegant form is matched only by its deadly bite. Peter’s cobra box figurine portrays a majestic yet gentle cobra, surrounded by creature companions that are not the least bit afraid. The inscription “Bullets” and the rabbit tucked into the basket pay homage to Peter’s son’s rabbit, who recently died. “R.P.” references Richard Prior, a favorite comedian of Peter’s, who also passed away during the carving of this box figurine. Opening the lid reveals a snake in Groucho Marx disguise. The idea came from a Gary Larson cartoon that Peter remembers reading two decades ago.
