BRIGG Bulldog mascot Walking cane, England ca. 1900

This figure is fashioned of a single piece of ash and depicts a masterly carved English Bulldog head with inset glass eyes and characterizing short muzzle, protruding lower jaw, and loose skin that forms wrinkles in the face. It is brand-marked BRIGG close to the crutch and is a good portrait of one of the bravest dog races.

This adorable mascot carving is 5 cm high x 8 cm lengthwise x 4,5 cm wide. The O.L. is 88 cm, it ends with a horn tip, with minimal signs of usage, the right ear, broken long ago (see picture), is hardly noticeable, and the condition is excellent.
