Kinda reminds me of art deco - you know, the Maltese Falcon, Sam Spade, etc. Simple in this case, but the plain yet shiny black ebony has kind of a 'film noir' feel to it, to me. About 5" tall, 1 1/2 or so around, and heavy. Not hollowed, just drilled for a simple display. 3 wheel buffed with Ren wax.
