Throughout the decades of their popularity, canes with carved handles showed a multitude of motifs, with dogs being a very common theme. Whether is was a trusted hunting dog, champion racing dog, or simply a loyal companion, dogs are one of the most commonly seen inspirations for a canes carving. This cane is a prime example of that, with a unique twist. The somewhat C-shaped grip of this cane shows mostly the form of the tusk it was carved from, with a slightly smaller relief carved dog laying near the band. The grip is joined to the shaft with a wide silver band that has floral motifs. The smooth shaft is Malacca and is tipped with German silver and iron. It measures approximately 36 inches overall.
