Delicately Carved Twisting Ball in Cage Whimsy antique macrame basket which it closely follows fromSuch a delicate, almost dainty little whimsy, with these very thin posts carved very carefully on the diagonal, giving the whole thing a twist. The U shaped loop handle at top would make it an easily one to hang mid air, where it might spiral perpetually. Lovely. 3 1 8" t x 3 4" w and d. Very good condition. A little dust captured in a couple photos, which I will brush off!
