Old Carved Ball and Slider in Cage Whimsy with Warm Patina antique ex voto and the legs move easilyA large and chunky one, of the sort that one might want to keep on the desk as a sort of fidget toy, watching the the ball and square slide back and forth while thinking or procrastinating! More crude than refined in its carving, but satisfying in its heft and folkiness. 10 5 8" l x 1 7 8" w x 1 11 16" d and in good condition, with a nice warn dry wood patina. C. 2nd quarter 20th century I would guess.
