While there are no small screws or holes at the bottom of the legs, I suspect that, perhaps, detachable shoes or feet may have been lost. I found the item in this condition and have only dusted and cleaned it.Lastly, there is a brown spot on the sisal rope "arms". I do not know whether that is intentional or a user's mark. less

It measures 4 7/8" x 2 1/8" x 4 1/2". While several of the Gonk wares are attributed to the designer Hans Bolling this novelty item has Japan ink-stamped on the bottom. less
