Countryside Wolf, lovely mascot Cane, England ca 1900

The whole cane is made of a single piece of a branch. The figure depicts a masterly carved wolf with glass eyes and coloured face 10 cm to the side x 4 cm wide. It is brand marked: MADE IN ENGLAND close to the horn tip, also marked CAMPION PARIS above close to the figure which indicates it had been retailed to this fancy shop in the French capital. The O.L. is 93 cm, it ends with a horn tip and the whole cane has minimal signs of usage, the condition is perfect.

Possible no other creature has stirred us to a more mystical communion with nature or a more abject fear of her dark realities than the wolf. Wolves are hair-raisers. Traversing the Great Distances on their slender legs and prodigious feet they appear to float, silent and spectral, like emissary spirits. *Book of Symbols.
