A distinctive late 19th to early 20th century walking cane featuring a carved ivory handle in the form of a crouching hare, complete with long, backward-swept ears and pink glass eyes. The carving is detailed with fine fur texture and lifelike expression. The handle is mounted on a dark, naturally textured shaft with an engraved metal collar—possibly silver, though unmarked—bearing what appears to be a name or dedication.
