I was thinking this old painted, carved whimsy would make a great, and fun, door knocker--probably best for an interior door, but easy to hang from one nail or hook, and the gold painted ball is plenty large to make a good knock. I think it is a pretty old one, with pale, faded blue and red paint on two of the links, which also make me think it's like a big gold metal which one could (very dramatically!) hang around one's neck (or just hang on the wall like a trophy!)

6 3/4" long; the ball has a diameter of about 1 3/4"; the links are each about 1 7/8" long x 1 1/8" wide. Very good, nicely aged condition, with no splits or breaks.
