43 Inch Whimsy Chain with Ball in Cage Ends kutani Really a very special littleReally a great one and a long one! I had a lot of fun photographing this, as there is lots of chain to play with!

A great one for dangling or dramatically draping across the wall, really nice. 43 1 2" x 11 16" wide and deep. All carved from one piece of wood. Excellent
