This is a weighted monkey's fist knot rope ball. It is approximately 6" in diameter, completely covered in rope, and is almost 12" to the top of the loop. It weighs close to 4-1/2 pounds and will look great in a nautical or maritime theme, or works very well as a door stop. The monkey's fist is named because it looks like a clenched fist and is most often used by sailors for throwing a line to another boat or dock. It usually has a weight inside the knot for more heft. |
