Elegant Old (Sailor Made?) Hanging Ball in Cage Whimsy with Very Sharp Point danish design objects I recently found another postcard

I recently found another postcard featuring a baby having just spilled a bottle of black ink all over the place

--by a Rollin R (I believe it reads)

(And the wear to the paint on the lid where the snake hits it as it completes its emergence tells us it has been opened many times

and as offerings left at or in a burial

giving military leaders a platform that allowed them to see for miles around

Elegant Old (Sailor Made?) Hanging Ball in Cage Whimsy with Very Sharp Point danish design objects I recently found another postcardI have a feeling this whimsy was made by a sailor with the sharply pointed end rather like that of a fid. Whatever the case, an old one, and a beauty, which would quite hold its own on the wall, hanging from one nail. 5 3 16" x 13 16" x 13 16". Very good condition.
