Optional black metal stand (XC8712) is 14" high and is sold to use with the Olde English Witch Ball (XC8702 - sold separately). Popular in olde England and the New World, witch balls were once hung in windows for luck and as protection against evil spirits and spells. Anything bad would be lured by their beauty, then trapped by the tendrils inside. Hand-blown in Canada, heavy, substantial glass balls are about 6" diameter.
