Beautiful Old Carved Wooden Dibbler Chinese ming many of these date fromThough it could double as a very elegant wooden toy gun, this is an old dibbler, used for making holes in the soil for planting seeds or seedlings. I find the form really beautiful, together with the way the wear progresses toward the point, and it's got a really nice weight and feel in the hand. Definitely useful still, but really nice just to look at. 10 x 5 x 1 5 16 and in very good, beautifully used condition. Stands up (or balances on the curve)
