Nicely Carved Antique Standing Ball in Cage Whimsy Native American portrait painting Pretty great I thinkA 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.
