Antique Jointed Folk Art Circus Dog (or Horse?) Murano bowl with Zanfirico I love how much theI purchased this wonderful old jointed wooden circus animal from a seller who had acquired a dozen or so pieces I believe by the same maker, including horses, elephants, and human performers all fantastic, and all of which were fiercely bidded upon at auction.
