Where do the snakeskins come from?

My community all know I have a weird passion for these skins, and they all love to let me know they found a skin!

Python skins are the most common, here in the Northern Rivers NSW area, and brown snake skins are found around rocky areas, with black snake skins seem to regularly be around near a river, or water of some sort.

Separation was the agenda, but we are all connected.  Oils on stretched canvas with shredded python skin.

An intriguing explanation as to the origin of the two fingered salute is that it dates back to the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, when the English King, Henry the fifth unleashed his Anglo-Saxon long bowmen on the unsuspecting French knights and  men at arms. 

The peasant bowmen fired off so many arrows in rapid succession that day, that it was said, that as they flew, they blocked the light of the sun and when the sky cleared, the cream of the French nobility, lay slaughtered on the field.
 

From that point on the long bow assumed the status of the singular most lethal weapon of the 100 Years War,  and was greatly feared by the French.

When an archer was captured by the French, they would invariably have their index and fore fingers cut off, their bow fingers, both a punishment and as an act of disarmament.

In response, whenever the English archers encountered the French in battle, they would typically, on mass, hold up and wave their bow fingers at the enemy as a gesture of
both insult and of warning, a warning that they were about to be
annihilated.

The one fingered salute appears to be a modern hybrid of this, with more venom.
