Yeah, this is pretty much THE Kobuki dream marble right here - the amazing Samurai Warrior skull, featuring a silver fumed skull made by the ultra-legendary Bob Snodgrass!! This is a brand new style of Snodgrass collab awesomeness for John, where he really went all out with the skull design, and as usual, I have no idea HOW he achieved this. It is such a completely perfect meshing of their styles, as sweet as things can get in glass. The marble would be crazy awesome just by itself, but John went the extra mile with this creation and hand-crafted a special box for it!! The marble sits nice and snugly down inside on top of a piece of felt, with the lid attached by the carrying handle on top. A little wooden placard is attached, with John's Kanji signature on one side, and a Snodgrass skull on the other. This is a complete work of art, and the type of thing that makes John so absolutely legendary in the world of marbles. A VEEEERY special piece for the finest of collections! Signed by John in Kanji.
