# Talk:Serpent labret with articulated tongue

I'd like to see an indication in this article of how this labret is actually worn. I cannot imagine a way to wear it that wouldn't drag down the lip, or a way that the snake would stay upright rather than flipping upside-down. ~Anachronist (talk) 22:49, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

Anachronist, I'm guessing here, but the wide flange, which sits inside the mouth, probably helps the wearer keep the labret upright. It would presumably make it harder for the labret to rotate, and the wearer could use his tongue to keep it properly oriented. Regarding weight, it isn't terribly heavy (50 grams = 1/10 pound), so use of the lower lip's muscles might have been able to keep it from sagging too much. All things considered though, can't imagine it was comfortable. --Usernameunique (talk) 16:07, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

I've built out a Wikidata item for this work: Serpent Labret with Articulated Tongue (Q52624955).  I've also started one for Golden Kingdoms (Q52627814).--Pharos (talk) 13:57, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
