Very Sweet 19th C. Round (and Roll-able) Carved Pine Pine Ball in Cage Whimsy in Original Black Paint handsome men Gabriel KohnI paid a good bit for this one as far as small carved whimsies go, but unusual in my experience to find a round one, and not too often early painted ones either, and I just fell in love with it. Carved of pine, with a nice large (relative to its scale) ball inside, and the black paint worn in the best way. And, being round, it rolls when turned on its side making me think it was made as a toy for a child. Really sweet and special feeling. 2 5 8 x 1 5
