This child's primitive folk art toy abacus has a subdued natural wood patina with splashes of muted colors in the wooden counting beads which glide on wire hoops for ease in counting. It is signed on the back and side by 'Janet Hans/Janet H.' in a child's script. It would make an endearing addition to a child's room or a cool gift for an accountant's office bookcase.
