An impressive figural walking cane featuring a finely carved ivory handle depicting two lions in tense defensive postures, teeth exposed and ears slightly back, flanking a coiled serpent with its forked tongue extended. The scene captures a vivid moment of wary alertness, with intricate detailing to the lions’ manes, serpent’s scales, and inset glass eyes. The handle is mounted on a richly knotted hardwood shaft with an ornate unmarked silver-tone collar, possibly sterling, and finished with a plain metal ferrule. Dimensions approx.: total height 34.5 ins., handle length 5.75 ins. Pickup & Shipping: This lot may be picked up free of charge in Gardnerville, NV.
