Lovely Tall Antique Carved Ball in Cage Whimsy with Bulb Shaped Handle wooden eagle Of Bridget his brideGreat lines on this tall antique carved ball in cage whimsy, with lovely bulb top, which doubles as a handle for waving it around, and makes me think perhaps I should call it a rattle. Beautifully carved, nice scale, wonderful dry wood patina, stands up straight on its own; super. 8 15 16" t x 1 1 2" w x 1 1 2" d, very good antique condition.
