The intricately carved handle of this superb walking stick is actually a bust of William Shakespeare. The most revered writer in English literature, Shakespeare the man was a mystery, and even his exact physical appearance cannot be ascertained. However, this ivory handle captures the spirit of this beloved figure, and demonstrates the owner's admiration of his work. Set upon a shaft of beautifully striped partridge wood, a sturdy palm wood native to the American tropics, this bust is a sublime tribute to the Bard of Avon.
