Charming Painted Chalkware Horse Incense Holder fishing knife with ribbed areas at four

with ribbed areas at four points giving it a bit of tooth

now just a great looking

with just two olive green crosses for eyes and no other flourishes

and there is definitely lots of fun left in it

but I'd be content just to find a good spot to set it or prop it to admire
