I purchased this piece in a very badly tarnished state—in part because I could not resist the fabulous fox head

only visible when opened

43 Inch Whimsy Chain with Ball in Cage Ends kutani 3/8" diameterReally a great one and a long one! I had a lot of fun photographing this, as there is lots of chain to play with! The several dozen links are quite finely carved, ultimately giving way to these great elongated balls in cages with bulbous ends that remind me rather of ballerina feet on point! A great one for dangling or dramatically draping across the wall, really nice. 43 1 2" x 11 16" wide and deep. All carved from one piece of wood. Excellent
