There is a wealth of carving on this 17th century walking stick. It is carved from a single piece of boxwood and contains a mixture of low and high relief carving. It measures 93cms long terminating in a grotesque mask of a satyr with a dog biting both ears. In photo image number 3, a satyr can be seen accosting a young maiden, whilst in image number 5, another satyr is seen playing a trumpet, whilst a cherub dances. The walking stick demonstrates substantial skill and was undoubtedly an item representing considerable wealth and status.
