This splendid and translucent massive piece is modelled in a light golden horn and decorated with carving dots, it is very similar to a Tortoiseshell, this wonderful material on canes comes to us from a rare breed of rams in the mountains of Tibet. Its construction involved heating, stretching and fussing of the massive horn in technology that is now long lost, that’s the reason why a few examples have survived.

The width of the hook handle is 12 cm lengthwise x 13,5 cm high x 2,7 cm thick. There is a 14k. Gold ring 3,5 cm high and engraved with the initials CL overlapping. The O.L. of the cane is 90 cm and finishes with a bimetal ferrule. Without cracks or damages, the condition is perfect.
