Large Old Wooden Spinning Top doll eyes but focus on the dark

but focus on the dark brown and a repeating animal motif reveals itself

and in great  condition

That gorgeous rose pink one near the top and the brown one below in the first image are two

There is some wear and cracking to the paint (more visible here in magnified views than with the naked eye) and some rust on the base

Large Old Wooden Spinning Top doll eyes but focus on the darkI love old wooden spinning tops just as a form, and this is an especially lovely one, as pure a form as can be, with a great patina to boot. Heavy and smooth, I'd probably put it on the desk to use it as a paperweight, picking it up occasionally to give it a twirl around. (I believe there was likely once a separate winding device that attached to wind it up and properly get it spinning.) 5" tall x 2 3 4" diameter at widest. Excellent overall
