This is a fine example of folk art with this antique walking cane that is carved out of Briar wood and depicts an alligator on the top of the handle. The carving was done is such a way that it fits well under one’s hand when using the cane. This cane measures 34 1/2″ long and the handle is 4 1/2″ long. Notice that the tip of the cane is capped with a metal tip. This is a nice all original piece of folk art and could be a very helpful tool if needed for extra balance and support!
