Antiques & Collectables, Silver & Gold (14% Buyers Commissions)
A walking stick featuring a spherical, cream-colored handle, likely of organic material or a synthetic imitation, exhibiting extensive crazing and cracking. A small, circular, brass-toned compass is prominently inset into the handle, marked with East Asian characters for the cardinal directions: 東 (East), 西 (West), 北 (North), and 南 (South). A silver-toned metal collar connects the handle to the dark, cylindrical shaft, which appears to be wood or lacquered wood, showing faint, undecipherable vertical markings.
