I don't think it matters a bit if one is to indeed use it as a planter

and heavy for its size

And someone certainly put some love into it

The basic story

Two Linked Balls in Cage Carved Pine Whimsy prison art box textured black vase featuring twoThis is one of a a number of old pine carved whimsies I purchased together and believe were all made by one American carver, first half of the 20th century I believe. Skillfully done but chunky in form, with a great warm patina to the dry wood, and all carved from one piece of wood with no notable chips, cracks or splits. Very nice. 6 7 8" long x 1 3 8" wide x 1" deep. Cages each measure about 3 1 8" t.
