with additional colorful abstract forms

The patterns of her dress and border around the rim are terrific too

7 7/8” x 1 1/16” overall

rather surreal character and an intensity that I think might make her haunt a child's dream

and I swear the intense gazes of those kittens follow one wherever one goes

Elegant Old (Sailor Made?) Hanging Ball in Cage Whimsy with Very Sharp Point vintage half gross box of pencils with additional colorful abstract formsI 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.
