the year of the snake--and what a beautiful thing

near the toes and what could be some white something on the top of the leg

if only I could read Japanese

a fantastic tangle of wires holding them in place

but it is well stuck on and I'm leaving it alone

Sculptural Pair of Blacksmith Made Iron Rings matchsticks the year of the snake--andThese just struck me as a very beautiful pair, one ring fitting inside the other, neither quite round, the larger one a bit fatter than the smaller. Nice objects for the desk or table, useful as paperweights, satisfying to hold, and just lovely. Larger measures 4 11 16" across, 7 16" thick. Smaller 3" across and 5 16" thick. Hand forged, with lots of years on them, with nice surface variation as a result. Sold as a pair.
