SOLD Bold and Lyrical Antique Hanging Pin Keep / Needle Book navigational compass but this is #1

but this is #1

and while I'd guess made as an incense holder I'd just treat it as a head

I'll be buying these old German wooden houses whenever I come across them until the end of my days

and most definitely something one might gaze at while meditating

terminating in fabulous tall black boots

SOLD Bold and Lyrical Antique Hanging Pin Keep / Needle Book navigational compass but this is #1This one for me is all about color and pattern, with this great color blocking of tan and (thinly striped) blue and white silk on the face, turned into a drawing with the lyrical application of that red thread. Feels like a poem, and a painting. The hinged face flips up to reveal several fabric "pages" for holding needles underneath, and then room for pins all around the sides. With green silk moire on reverse. 7" t (as hung) x 3 3 8" w x 3 4" d.
