Hand-dyed Linen Rag Ball with Gorgeous Color carved nude figure The fancy outfit and Italianate

The fancy outfit and Italianate setting make me think he may have been channeling Romeo

I just love this little purple-glazed face

The darker horizontal bands here I believe are cedar bark as well

Holds a picture measuring approx 5 3/4" x 3 3/4"

Hand-dyed Linen Rag Ball with Gorgeous Color carved nude figure The fancy outfit and ItalianateI've sometimes admired but never felt really compelled to buy ragballs, until finding this one last week in Upstate New York. I have no idea if the linen is old or was hand dyed and cut up two weeks ago, but I don't really care; I think it is a very beautiful thing. Approx 4 inches in diameter, with loose threads here and there.
