A refined Folk art walking stick with arts and crafts, Center America 1860.

About the Item

Folk Folk art stick. The barrel is carved and etched from a single branch of Mexican Maple (Acer skutchii) wood and finished with a dark brown patina. The handle depicts the sculpture of an Indian woman lying down and resting on a sheet of tobacco. She wears a skirt of native leaves. Just under the handle two opposing coats of arms are finely sculpted and engraved, probably referring to the southern Mexican area. A lion's head protrudes just below the front crest. A continuous raceme with leaves in relief is sculpted and finished on a fully dotted background and envelops the entire stick, sequentially describing large fields with a series of male and female figures as personifications of arts and crafts. Central America, early second half of the 19th century.
