Details:
This ceramic picture plate (wall plate) by the ceramist and sculptor Otto Hohlt was made by him in the typical archaic style with the representation of a snake, which will probably be found in tropical regions. Possibly the snake on the plate is a reference to the birthplace of Otto Hohlt, who was born in Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic.
