I am struck by the incredible array of hair combs and hair ornaments that have been created from ancient to modern times

Red and Green Painted Steel Old Carnival Skeeball Game Board cinnabar Burmese lacquer so finely woven of bearI just love the look of this old skeeball board, painted a nice rich red with green for the rim. I am pretty sure this steel one was for carnival use, as it was definitely made to stand up to heavy play! No balls included but it shouldn't be hard to find some, though I would likely just hang it on the wall, or else use it as a platform for displaying other things. Nicely worn some loss of paint and a little rusting, which I think just make it better.
