Carved wooden walking cane owned by Sen. W. Nash

A carved wooden walking cane owned by Sen. W.B. Nash. The length of the cane is cylindrical at the bottom but squared off about halfway up. The cane has been incised over much of its surface with geometric and animal decorations, including diamonds, fish, snake and lizard. [19 11] is carved on the outward facing side of the cane. Near the head of the cane is a carved chamber with four curved posts inside which rolls a loose wooden ball. The top of the cane is curved, pale and very smooth from use. At the handle of the cane handle is another incised section, a geometric design or possibly letters. There is a black rubber piece, not original, adhered to the foot of the cane.
