I think it would make the perfect little vase or planter (a little cactus would seem most appropriate

emphasizing the wake at his knees and distant ocean horizon at his waist

25" tall and x 4

Everything about this painting is just winningly done

Extra Large Painted Folk Art Spinning Top 1917 carving I think it would makeAt one point surely there was a string that wrapped around this which one would use to set it spinning, but I like it just as an object now, and rather a patriotic one, too, hand painted red white and blue. It's about as large a wooden top as Ive seen, with a satisfying form and metal disks at either end, meaning it could be wound and spun on either end. Id guess 1940s or so. 6 1 4 l x 3 1 4 d and in good condition.
