is nice and substantial

I happened to give these old clay ones (plus one large one made of wood)  a close look at a recent flea market

I do believe they should really stay as a pair because they look most fabulous together

4 1/2" tall x 2 1/4" wide x 7/8" deep and carved on both sides

this is clearly a couple for the ages

Big Chunky Carved Whimsy with Links an Ball in Cage vintage copy of the Wizard of Oz is nice and substantialThis 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.
