During the 19th and 20th centuries, canes became incredibly popular as a status symbol, especially among the upper class in Western Europe and North America. This specific cane is a fantastic example of that, having been beautifully relief carved and in the form of a lion battling a tiger on a pillar of rock, perfect for a gentleman who may have hunted in Africa and India. Also featured in a small carving of a fleeing rabbit below the fight scene. The grip is joined to the shaft with a nickeled band. The shaft is ebonized and smooth, and it is tipped with light colored horn. It measures approximately 36 1/4 inches overall.

Fine, the grip having an attractively aged tone, some hairline cracks, and a small repaired chip on top. The shaft is very fine with minimal handling evidence or wear.
