its rough texture

7 3/4" tall

I love him just sitting around among a collection of other brass boxes

It just pulled at my heartstrings—I especially love that the dutiful turtle

what could be sweeter for holding a few favorite rings or a bunch of paperclips than this vintage gold and black lacquer frog box

Charming Little Hand-carved Wooden Lion for the garden its rough textureSuch a great little lion! I'm having a really hard time resisting little handmade creatures, especially those that that possess such a wonderful sense of the humanity of their maker, as does this one. I love how the line of her nose extends all the way down from her eyes (which seem to see into my soul!), the human lips, and the super straight whiskers on either side above it. This little lion is definitely owning the space in which she lounges! 4 3
