Description

Walking stick, of unknown wood - appears to be made from actual branch, as there are many places where cross branches have been carved away and an aligator or crocodile has been carved in the wood. The animal is set with glass eyes of yellow with black pupils. Metal (possibly brass?) band around sides near base and metal base surface. Appears to have been finished with a varnish type finish which gives a high gloss to the wood.
