Oversized Carved Wooden Folk Art Scissors in Old Silver Paint striking mask winning his first fiddle contestNot too much larger than an actual pair of scissors, but with nicely elongated proportions that make them feel more so. A nice whimsy of sorts, perhaps at one time hung in a tailor's shop, or at a hairdresser's?! 11 3 4" x 2 3 8" x 1 4 and in very good condition, light in weight, with nice mellowing to the silver paint and some darkening along the edges, as if they had been used!
