Nicely Carved Antique Standing Ball in Cage Whimsy playing cards pattern And the clear molded glassA nice companion to either or both of the folk art still banks I'm listing today, this is a lovely old ball in cage whimsy with great dry wood patina and nicely sculptural form. Large enough to feel like a small sculpture, but small enough to draw appreciation for the skillfulness of the carving just right. 5 3 4" x 1 5 8" x 1 9 16". Excellent antique condition.
