Six Links Carved Whimsy Chain blue green scarab with yellow eyes and brown

with yellow eyes and brown for the interior of the ears

and a small image of Shoulao

this vase feels rather like a second generation AbEx painting

but I certainly believe in infusing small joys into daily life wherever possible

so maybe ideally suited for hanging in a kid’s bedroom or playroom

Six Links Carved Whimsy Chain blue green scarab with yellow eyes and brownI never tire of these carved whimsy chains, as even carving a two link chain seems like a miracle to me, and even fairly simple ones have their own distinct personalities. I like the rustic ness of this one and its relatively large and fat links; it feels a bit more like one carved by a prisoner than an end of the day leisurely whittler! 5 3 4" long x 1 1 16" wide x 5 16" thick. Definitely with some age, but no notable cracks or splits. A nice one
