Satisfying Brass/Bronze Nugget Form Paper Weight quistgaard I fell in love this

I fell in love this this box before even seeing the homemade dominoes inside--both a bit imperfect

The woven detail is executed in what looks to be raffia

Zeal without knowledge is blind

Tis the season for the hard-charging donkey as I post this

and these are really lovely

Satisfying Brass/Bronze Nugget Form Paper Weight quistgaard I fell in love thisI really don't know a thing about how this came to be, but I find it quite a satisfying thing, and it makes a very nice sculptural paperweight. Great feel in the hand, too. Based on the color, I believe it is likely bronze rather than brass, but am not 100% certain. I would guess artist made, but there is no mark I can see. 2 1 16" w x 1 1 8" d x 13 16" t and weighs about 5 ounces.
