with screw clasp

No wonder that the pottery of this region is regarded as among the most beautiful in South America

I believe it dates to the first half of the 20th century

and there is some speculation they may had an abortive function

One of my favorite things hanging on my own walls is a striking vintage Japanese furoshiki

Chinese Carved Wooden Horse carved wooden chain whimsy with screw claspI believe this small Chinese carved wooden horse dates to the 1930s or 40s. I especially love that the pupil of one of the tiny glass eyes is cast skyward, making her seem rather coy, and also quite mischievous! I also love that the head is turned a full 180 degrees, evincing a sense of moving forward and looking back all at once. A nice little gift for the horse lover and fun addition to any menagerie! 4 1 2" tall x 3 1 2: wide x 1 1 4" deep. Great
