Sculptural Pair of Blacksmith Made Iron Rings matchsticks near the toes and what

near the toes and what could be some white something on the top of the leg

if only I could read Japanese

a fantastic tangle of wires holding them in place

the year of the snake--and what a beautiful thing

Or perhaps returning home after a long day of visits

Sculptural Pair of Blacksmith Made Iron Rings matchsticks near the toes and whatThese just struck me as a very beautiful pair, one ring fitting inside the other, neither quite round, the larger one a bit fatter than the smaller. Nice objects for the desk or table, useful as paperweights, satisfying to hold, and just lovely. Larger measures 4 11 16" across, 7 16" thick. Smaller 3" across and 5 16" thick. Hand forged, with lots of years on them, with nice surface variation as a result. Sold as a pair.
