Chunky Old Ball and a Half in Cage Whimsy with Best Patina mayan not especially fragileThis one is lot about patina and presence and feel in the hand, but also about the form of the carving, which has a sort of voluptuousness to it, and especially that sort of half ball, atop which the fully round one can rest when turned right side up. I find its protrusion quite satisfying, as if it were in the process of pushing its way out of the wood and into the world. The mother and child of whimsies! 5 1 2" t x 1 3 4 and in very good condition,
