About the Item

Jewel walking stick, made of silver, designed and made by Turriet & Bardach. The spherical knob represents a Vanitas – Memento Mori. On the 3 sides of the sphere, there are black and white striped agates of round shape, cabochon cut, interspersed with 3 skulls in relief. At the top of the knob, there is a large black and white striped agate of round shape, cabochon cut. The 4 stones are set and fixed by bone-shaped claws. In the band, there are 4 bones, joined two by two, creating a strip where the Latin writing is engraved: ODIE MIHI, CRAS TIBI. (Today it's my turn, tomorrow it's yours). Ebony wood cane, metal tip. Signed Turriet & Bardach. Turriet & Bardach was founded in 1880 by Anton Turriet and Julius Bardach.
