This has to be one of the most unusual folk canes. The head is beautifully carved, mainly in oak with glass eyes. However, it is below the chin of the ram and the shaft that is the most unusual. Normally a smooth surfaced cane shaft is based on a round principle.

 In this case the cane is rounded on the reverse and comes forward at ever increasing narrowness to form a straight ridge line down the length of the cane.

The further intrigue being that there are bands of oak and mahogany from the base of the cane, up and into the carving. The answer to how this has been achieved is found in the loss of a 12 cm oak strip at the base of the cane!

Condition

The cane holds a minor wood chip on the ram’s lower lip, a slightly battered metal ferrule and the oak strip loss as previously discussed. Otherwise the cane is in lovely original condition.
