but I think it's pretty great

I find it completely wonder-inducing

I believe this very charming antique hand-colored lithograph dates to the 1840s or so

MA along with several other beautiful Burmese boxes

Big Chunky Carved Whimsy with Links an Ball in Cage colorful but I think it's prettyThis carved whimsy is quite the opposite of refined, which is much of what I love about it, plus the fact that both end pieces can be stood up, with the two links crossed above them, making it perfect for sitting like a sculpture on a shelf. It's big and chunky 16 1 4" inches long when stretched out and 1 5 8 inches wide and deep and the ball makes a nice rattle in its cage when shaken! It would be good hung on the wall by one of the links, too.
