North America, United States, ca. 2000 CE. A interesting and eclectic hand carved wood walking stick inlaid with stone arrowheads and a polished river stone surmounted as a finial. The shaft is initialed "WG" and dated "2000" just under the 4 knapped arrowheads, and a cotton tartan pattern handle is tied to the neck. From the top down are engraved sun and moon motifs and the rest is covered in animals including: a herons, ducks, wolves, eagles, squirrels, rabbits, dogs, deer, and butterflies. A rubber foot was added to the tip, and this unique cane could certainly be used today - it is quite sturdy and truly a unique piece of New Age style folk art! Size: 37.75" L x 1.5" W (95.9 cm x 3.8 cm)

Provenance: ex-private Bishop Family Trust collection, the Trust of the late Bill Bishop, a noted antiquarian with shops in Scottsdale, Arizona and Allenspark, Colorado, USA, acquired before 2010
