Much Weathered Sculptural Antique Iron Finial (Lightening Rod Tip?) Japanese wrapping cloth which now could be used

which now could be used to rake sand in a tabletop zen garden

I'm always on the hunt for vintage Mexican folk art animals of any sort

with some scattered stains/toning that I don't think detracts

though one which must have required a great deal of work to make do

Much Weathered Sculptural Antique Iron Finial (Lightening Rod Tip?) Japanese wrapping cloth which now could be usedAnother wonderfully sculptural very old iron finial from a group of them found this week, this one I especially love for looking like an arrow shot through a sphere. The base has eroded such that it will no longer stand on its own, but I think this one is better laid on its side, anyway. 10 inches long, with a few holes rusted through in the sphere as well as base, all to the good I think.
