Large Old Wooden Spinning Top doll eyes From top to bottom in

From top to bottom in the first photo

but focus on the dark brown and a repeating animal motif reveals itself

and I've especially come to love little tabletop chests like this one

7 7/8" widest diameter

I must say that I think K did a pretty great job

Large Old Wooden Spinning Top doll eyes From top to bottom inI love old wooden spinning tops just as a form, and this is an especially lovely one, as pure a form as can be, with a great patina to boot. Heavy and smooth, I'd probably put it on the desk to use it as a paperweight, picking it up occasionally to give it a twirl around. (I believe there was likely once a separate winding device that attached to wind it up and properly get it spinning.) 5" tall x 2 3 4" diameter at widest. Excellent overall
