Girl with Ball (Looking Ready!) Excellent Vintage Snapshot Photo wooden beaver and I guess the pair

and I guess the pair of wonderfully snake-like recessed forms at the top represent hooks or perhaps clasps that would have been forged on it

and seem to be just  a hair larger in size than later iterations

Just a small thing

some detailed with veins that simultaneously read as whisps of hair framing each face

Girl with Ball (Looking Ready!) Excellent Vintage Snapshot Photo wooden beaver and I guess the pairI don't always know when I find them, especially with photos, which will become my favorites but the more time I've spent with this one, the more I love it, finding it a wonderfully optimistic summation of life! A ball, or the world itself, captured in mid air, and our girl is poised and ready to smack it and set it aloft again. Feels right for the moment (one hopes!) and just right. 4 7 16" x 3 1 4" and in very good condition.
