Handvat van hout, waaraan een knop van zwart hoorn in de vorm van een hondenkop met spitse neus c. 1900 - 1930

This intricately carved wooden walking stick handle, dating back to the early 20th century, features a striking black horn dog head knop. The artist, known only as Gelria, meticulously crafted the canine's elongated snout, prominent eyes, and detailed fur, creating a realistic and captivating piece. The contrasting textures of the smooth horn and the wooden shaft add depth and visual interest to this functional work of art. The stick handle is a prime example of early 20th century craftsmanship, and its diminutive size suggests its intended purpose as a decorative element.
