Thinly Caged Old Carved Pine Ball in Cage Whimsy with Hanging Loop and Warm Patina odd fellows fob Such a lovely little bookA sweet old whimsy, carved of pine I believe, with a deep dry wood patina. On one hand quite elegant, with those very thinly carved, tall walls to the cage, but then with a slightly wonky shape to the hanging loop finial, which makes the presence of the hand of its maker very palpable. Lovely. 4 1 2 t x 1 3 16 wide and deep. Very good condition, with no splits or to those thin walls or other issues. Stands squarely on its four little feet.
