Perfectly Minimalist Old Hand-cut Row of Dots Brass Stencil terracotta figure I've developed quite a weakness

I've developed quite a weakness for old handmade needle books

but I really love the simplicity of the three posts on this one

such a tender and universal gesture of connection between mother and child

somehow they tend to feel a bit too cumbersome

Perfectly Minimalist Old Hand-cut Row of Dots Brass Stencil terracotta figure I've developed quite a weaknessI just find this super beautiful, like a minimalist representation of infinity, with subtle variation to the size of those punched holes, lined up in a not quite exactly straight row. Gorgeous patina to the brass too, itself not quite an even rectangle. A lovely thing that I, for one, would never tire of looking at, on and on. 12" x 6". I like it on the horizontal, though there are two small holes at the corners of one short side for hanging
