Part of what I love most about this whimsy, which I believe has a fair amount of age to it, is the round hole that runs straight through one of the links but touches neither edge, giving the whole thing a sort of miraculous precariousness. (I have no idea how it got there. That curious hole aside, it was quite nicely carved, all from one piece of wood, with an interesting long double ended link, two smaller ones of different lengths, and a ball in cage with very round ball.
8 5/8" long x 1 3/16" wide and deep; cage measures 2 1/2" l. Aside from the hole, which does not seem to threaten to break, and a few tiny white spots, it is in very good condition.
