Decorative carved rhino horn sculpture or walking stick handle
Estimated Value
$50-$250
The object appears to be a carved and painted decorative piece shaped like a rhinoceros head and horned body segment, possibly part of a larger sculpture, cane, or novelty display item. The surface shows a tan-and-black cracked pattern resembling faux aged or tribal-style decoration, with a dark brown sculpted head featuring prominent ears, eyes, nostrils, and horns. The craftsmanship suggests a handmade or mass-produced decorative item rather than a fine antique. The image is somewhat blurry, so exact construction and function are uncertain.
