The grip of this cane is made up of a resin molded parrot with a hardwood beak and glass bead eyes perched on an antique ivory peg. The seemingly black handle possesses a deep reddish hue in the light. The grip is attached to the shaft with a brass band. The shaft is smooth hardwood and is tipped with a cartridge/bullet. 36" OAL. Very good, the grips showing some scattered light scratches/handling marks and the shaft shows minimal wear with aged patina on the tip.
