Antique Three Balls in Cage Carved Whimsy with Nice Details antique medical guide and the wood has beenI believe this whimsy, all carved from one piece of wood, is quite old, and appears to show remnants of white paint. I love the tapered sides of the base, and the dome like top, with a carved circle detail at the very top, visible when viewed from above. Stands sturdy on its own, with a really nice presence. 5 3 4" t x 1 1 4" wide and deep. Very good I believe antique condition.
