Overall excellent

as do the swirls of ink-drawn line detailing the lace covering her neck

the more I love it

though absent a woman's name

it seems there was a whole set of them produced (copyright 1947)

Lovely Antique Gilded Double Ball in Cage Whimsy face mask Overall excellentI've gotten pickier about whimsies over time, tending to pass them by unless they are especially lovely, which this one is, in its very old gold paint, with well carved pair of balls making me think of two little peas in a pod. Beautifully detailing at top and bottom which give it an architectural feel, too. It will stand on its own flipped either way. 4 7 8 x 1 1 8 x 1 1 8 and in very good condition, no splits or repairs.
