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

Seems a good metaphor for many a situation

Wonderful aged condition and in great structural shape

a few smudges along the edges

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.
