This intricately carved horn knob, crafted by the artist Gelria between 1900 and 1930, depicts a bird's head. The piece is expertly detailed with a pronounced beak and a single, prominent eye, hinting at the artistry of the maker. Its small size, measuring just 9.5 cm in length and 2.7 cm in height, suggests this knob may have adorned a walking stick or a decorative object. The use of horn as a material, a common practice in the early 20th century, adds to the piece's natural aesthetic.
