A group of artists in Cambodia has unveiled its latest creation - a snake sculpture made of decommissioned weapons. The artists have been hard at work since March 2007 - hammering, sawing and welding the weapons into a large sculpture in the shape a mythological cobra.
The cobra is revered as the original ancestor of the Khmer people. The rusted AK47s and other small arms were surrendered by residents of Cambodia's Battambang Province over the past few years. The 6.3-meter cobra weighs three tonnes and was made from 2,377 guns. It'll be on permanent display in a public park in Battambang.

These fucken arts represent a joke for Cambodia! To turn weapon worth in the million and million of dollars into a piece of crap called art!
Can this piece of crap called art protect Cambodia from the Vietcong and the Thaicong invasion? Shaking my head!
I don't even know why Cambodian people under AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave regime behave in such a strange incomprehensible manner! Maybe one day when the Vietcong and the Thaicong put guns to their head and they would realize how crappy their fucken piece of shit called art!
Well, all I can say is the less weapon we have, the longer we will live as a nation.
Dude, it is probalby the best way to upgrade our equipments. So make the best out of these old crap metal.
As always khmer has unique talent in art. what's an art work!!
Don't you think Cambodia need to modernize its arts? I see the snake scuptures everywhere. They are over due it.
Snake represents fertility!
Oh good, I hope this will help our brothers (Viet and Thai) because their population seem to stall out.
