I think you might mean Ouroboros - the snake that circles eternally with its tail in its mouth.

Ormolu -but I don't think that's what you're looking for.
Ormolu (from French or moulu, signifying gold ground or pounded) is an 18th and 19th-century English term for what the French call bronze doré. The modern term in English is gilt bronze though, confusingly, the alloy of copper and zinc, sometimes with an addition of tin is technically brass.

Are you talking about the snake looped around and devouring its own tail? That is called the "oroborous wyrm" (wyrm meaning dragon) and signifies the universe and our place in it among other things...;)
