Carved Whimsy Chain with Ball in Cage and Geometric Form at Ends Manuel Jimenez armadillo Just a wonderful little folkI've got increasingly picky about carved whimsies, and while this one is not antique or super complicated, I really like the elongated shape of the links and especially the faceted geometric carving dangling at one end, balancing the ball in cage on the other.
