Three Interlocking Rings Old Carved Whimsy penny down to the facial expressionsA simple but sweet old carved whimsy, which I think has the feeling of a good luck charm. All carved from one piece of wood, the three interlocking rings don't have a lot of give; they are pretty tightly bound. Found in Maine and I think a pretty old one, with a nice patina. 2 7 8" x 2 5 8" x 1 2" deep. Would be good hung from a nail (maybe over a threshold), or just set somewhere. Or wear it as a large pendant!
