Pocket Watch at 2:43, Antique Copper Print Block on Wood equestrian Hand-forged

Hand-forged

At the bottom is a wooden stopper

red and purple in a mix of round and rectangular

(And, perhaps in a manner a bit like the question of whether the glass is half empty or half full, whether one imagines a. m. or p. m might have larger implications!) 2
