Its the seaweed patterned

and by the end of my stop if I've become pretty attached to it I won't let it go

with rays of light lines all around it

perfectly in sync with the surface decoration

Extra Large Painted Folk Art Spinning Top transfer ware child's cupBlind Mans Buff Its the seaweed patternedAt 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.
