Finely carved ivory handle depicting a woman with long flowing hair and arms lifted behind her head, adorned with a detailed necklace and fitted bodice. The figure is crisply modeled and well-proportioned, characteristic of late 19th-century Continental workmanship. The ivory bust rests above a polished gold collar mounted at the top of the bone shaft, which features three carved-in decorative bands, the uppermost encircled by a second gold ring. The shaft is of smooth, naturally grained bone with an integral rounded bone ferrule. Dimensions approx.: 35.25 x 1.75 in.
