1920s-30s IVORY LION EATING A SNAKE CANE/IN A BOOK
The walrus ivory handle of this terrific 1920s-1930s walking stick has been crisply carved to depict a lion holding a snake in its mouth. The pistol grip handle is 4 x 1-7/8 inches. It tops a 1/2-inch hallmarked solid gold collar and beautiful figured snakewood shaft ending in an inch-long metal tip. Overall length of this stick is 34-1/2 inches. This ivory cane was chosen to appear on page 141 in Jeffrey B. Snyder's newest book for Schiffer entitled Canes & Walking Sticks/A Stroll Through Time & Place."
