Big Chunky Carved Whimsy with Links an Ball in Cage 1930s matte green vase With a smartly organized compositionThis carved whimsy is quite the opposite of refined, which is much of what I love about it, plus the fact that both end pieces can be stood up, with the two links crossed above them, making it perfect for sitting like a sculpture on a shelf. It's big and chunky 16 1 4" inches long when stretched out and 1 5 8 inches wide and deep and the ball makes a nice rattle in its cage when shaken! It would be good hung on the wall by one of the links, too.
