    As the title says nothing intricate in design but was wondering if it has any age came from an estate sale. Found some lovely carved ones online .Do the symbols refer to anything chris 15152008930086.jpg 15152008930667.jpg 15152008931058.jpg 15152009096099.jpg 15152009096440.jpg ok 15152009096621.jpg 15152009260283.jpg

    I like it. Don't know about symbolism in the decoration, maybe there isn't any?
    It looks like it is wood, carved with nodules to make it look like Malacca (rattan).
    The nodules don't seem to be actual segmentation nodules, and there is a wood structure that rattan doesn't have:

    Rattan has straight lines, like other reeds have.
    Just above the centre of this picture there is a small nodule from a branch that has been cut off.
    I can't see a lengthways spine either, which you often see along a rattan cane.

    Chinese stick. Tourism souvenir. Made after 1949 for sure and I guess it's probobly made between 1979 to 1997.

    The words on it refer to ten scenes os west lake in China.

    I still remember when I fell in love with my wife in west lake, walking along Sudi, standing on Duan Qiao, boating on west lake... etc. It's one of the best and famous tourist spot in China.
