with royalty and high-ranking officials considering it fashionable to wear carved fruit pit accessories

I love every single thing about this rough and rustic old wooden stool and find it fantastically beautiful

a heavily detailed form of traditional Indian traditional embroidery that originates from the Kutch and the Saurashtra regions of Gujarat in North Western India--as well as a perimeter of multi-colored sequins and cut and sewn cotton fabric triangles fringe

I imagine that there was once a thin rod or wire that attached to the holes on either side of their arms by which one would hold them up and make them dance

Very good condition and marked on the bottom with a salamander and the word "original"

Wooden Letter Opener with Carved Head Kopy Kat watercolors with royalty and high-ranking officialsMy favorite thing about this carved letter opener are the very finely done tiny ears! The whole thing is pretty great though, and I really like how the figure is executed as a bust, with especially nice profile views showing strong jawline and high cheekbones. The notch in the blade half way done is pretty great too. Very nice. 7 1 2" long x 3 4" wide x 9 16" deep. Very good vintage condition.
