• WARTHOG TOOTH AND BOXWOOD FIGURAL
  WARTHOG TOOTH AND BOXWOOD FIGURAL CANE-Ca. 1900 -Substantial warthog tooth handle embellished at the front with a boxwood boar head against oak leaves. -The boar is naturalistically carved with the characterizing furry coat and drooped and pointed flat ending nose framed by strong and curved teeth under a pair of deeply set tiny eyes and upright ears with stiff, bristly hair. -Marked by the striking contrast of the impressive natural curve of the tooth against the elaborate fine carving of the head, the handle comes with a longer metal collar and faded gilding on a smooth shaved golden bamboo shaft and a metal ferrule. -A statement making trophy and a hunting allegory, this light weighted and sturdy cane aged well and with its entire integrity. It takes advantage of a recent expert refreshment when the handle anchoring on the shaft was re-adjusted and inevitable character lines to the bamboo shaft secured. -H. 6 ½” x 4 ¾”, O.L. 33 ¼” -$500-$700 -Warthog, (Phacochoerus aethiopicus), member of the pig family Suidae, found in open and lightly forested areas of Africa. The warthog is a sparsely haired, large-headed, blackish or brown animal standing about 30” at the shoulder. It has a coarse mane extending from the neck to the middle of the back, and it has a long, thin, tufted tail that it carries high while it is running. The male has two pairs of bumps, or warts, on the face. -Both sexes bear upwards growing tusks, with the upper jaw teeth being by far the more spectacular in appearance, curving upward and inward in a semicircle, attaining a length of more than 20” in some males. The lower pair, however, are the more dangerous, being straight, sharply pointed, and keep a keen edge by the upper pair rubbing against the lower pair. The tusks, more often the upper set, are worked much in the way of elephant tusks with all designs scaled down. -The male is called a boar, the female a sow and the young piglets.

• WARTHOG TUSK LION CANECa.
  WARTHOG TUSK LION CANECa. 1890-Substantial warthog tusk left in its naturally curving shape and adorned with a lion head at the front, silver collar modeled with two prone lions, malacca shaft and a metal ferrule. The combination of strong carving to the head and sleek and curving profile to the tusk lends the lion an intimidating profile and pays tribute to his rightfully acknowledged title King of the Jungle. H. 7 ¼” x 5 ¼”, O.L. 33 ¾” The lion was an icon of bravery, strength and royalty for thousands of years. Lions were worshiped as protectors of humans from evil spirits. No wonder cane makers loved to make lion walking canes! From medieval times, the lion was used in heraldry throughout Europe. Although there are many variations of heraldic lions, there are several major positions of the lion: Rampant (standing on hind legs), passant (walking), statant (standing on four legs), secant (sitting), and couchant (lying down). These postures influenced somewhat the shapes of lions on the walking sticks. Warthog ivory is taken from the constantly growing canine teeth. Each warthog has a pair of teeth in each jaw with the lower teeth being far shorter than the upper teeth. Both pairs grow upwards, with the upper teeth being by far the more spectacular in appearance. The lower pair, however, are the more dangerous: the teeth are straight, sharply pointed, and keep a keen edge by the upper pair rubbing against the lower pair. The tusks, more often the upper set, are worked much in the way of elephant tusks with all designs scaled down. Tusks are carved predominantly for the tourist trade in East and Southern Africa. The male is called a boar, the female a sow, and the young piglets.
