Monarch of the Glen Stave
Not to detract from MacSimoin's beautiful wolf's head walking cane, I thought you might also be interested in the 'find' I recently made in a local charity shop, and at a bargain price too!
It is a rather fine, if somewhat heavy, stave with a 'Monarch of the Glen' stag's head carved into the top. I think the wood is White Oak which is what obviously makes it heavy......
The stave is 5'5" from base to top of the antlers, and the tips of the antlers are 5" apart. The carving accounts for the top 8" of the piece.
Here is the head in close-up:
The bargain price? £15.00, or roughly US$28.50. Too good an opportunity to miss.
The question now is, when and where am I going to use it? I am open to (polite) suggestions!
