Beautiful Vintage Carved Black Coral Jamaican Walking Stick
Walking Sticks Like These Were and Are Used by Rastafarian Elders in Jamaica.
Approximately 37" in Overall Length,
Joined Lengths as Follows: 21" 4.5' 12"
Made and Purchased in Jamaica 30+ Years Ago. Bought to be a Display Item and Never Used. Please Note Extensive Carving and Inlays, Appear to be Blue Coral or Turquoise, Red Coral and Gold. Black coral walking sticks have sold in auction in the UK for over $7,000 each in the last year, and this one is much nicer.
Though designed and crafted to be used as intended as a walking stick, it is truly a work of art worthy of the most discerning collector. I had this made as a custom order, by a sculptor in Jamaica, the design was his. This was extremely expensive to commission and black coral has been unable to be taken out of Jamaica for many years now. It was legal to do so at the time.
The photos below show the extent of the workmanship, and if there are any questions, please contact me. Thanks for looking.
This Will Be Shipped Professionally Packed and Fully Insured.
