This antique or vintage carved wood walking stick features a naturalistically detailed handle depicting a recumbent big cat, possibly a lion or tiger, perched above a smaller bird-like creature, all carved from a lighter-toned wood with a warm patina. Below the animal carving, the handle transitions into a twisted or spiraling pattern, leading to a visible brass or yellow metal collar with a hammered texture, which connects to the main shaft. The shaft itself is crafted from a darker, natural branch-like wood, retaining its irregular shape and visible nodes. The overall piece exhibits an aged appearance consistent with its likely 19th or early 20th-century origins.
Length: 34 inches (86-87 cm)
