    He used to make walking sticks and knives So it looks like what he would use on top of one of his sticks but I've never seen anything like this before . Any idea what country , material etc it could be? Has an elderly gent with on the other side. Flowers on top. ws3.jpg

    Thank you so much. ws1.jpg

    Looks like an Asian top piece/head for a walking stick, see example... https://www.rafaelosonaauction.com/...e-portrait-carved-walking-stick-19th-century/

    From these photos--especially that chip on the roof--I would say it looks like a resin. It doesn't look like bone or ivory to me.

    I'm sorry for your loss!
