This is a late 20th century Post-Modern italian walking stick crafted from wood and coated in glossy black lacquer. The piece exhibits an erotic, phallic theme with a penis-shaped handle. The anonymous artist employed traditional carving and lacquering techniques to create this provocative object.
As a prime example of post-modernism's tendency to challenge taboos and subvert artistic norms, this cane playfully experiments with sexuality and desire through symbolic form. The juxtaposition of erotic imagery with a functional accessory encapsulates the Post-Modern impulse to blend high and low culture.
