Folk art walking stick depicting flowers and characters, Russia beginning of 19th century.

Russia circa 1800.

Folk Art Walking Stick, carved and sculpted from a single piece of wood, the walking stick has a flattened overall shape. The base is rounded, from which the shaft rises, featuring two side elements decorated with a spiral motif around smooth sections. Along the sides runs a continuous carved pattern of flowers and leaves, painted in red and green, ascending toward the top. A central element supports two vases, one on each side, also adorned with flowers. On one side, a male figure is shown climbing, wearing a hat and a red sash around his waist; on the other, a fantastical animal supports another male figure above it. The whole composition is crowned by an animal, with the handle rising diagonally. Russia, circa 1830.
