small hand carved bone 19th century silk thread barrel

$22.00

Tiny early 19th century carved bone silk thread barrel. This one is very simple with some thin incised lines for decoration on the body of the barrel and on the top lid. About 7/8″ high; in good condition with light ingrained soil. The part that thread gets wrapped around is likely not original since it’s not a perfect fit, but after 100+ years, pieces often become separated.
