more than a little goofy

I wish I knew the maker of these striking

I thought perhaps that this delicately painted watercolor wreath of forget-me-nots and rose buds was sent to commemorate a loss

Pretty, Old Ball in Cage Carved Whimsy with Scalloped Edges bark wrapped wood box 3/4" inches wide by 5/8"A pretty refined little ball in cage whimsy, with sort of a scalloping to the walls of the cage, a pointy top, and a slight elevation to the base. Very nicely done, walnut I think, and definitely with a good amount of age to it. It stands up sturdily on its feet, but they were carved slightly unevenly, so in certain positions (not all) it leans a bit one way, a little like the Tower of Pisa, which I personally like:) The ball rolls around freely
