Parasol

American

Not on view

Parasols were often carried in the manner of a walking stick and this is an example of a style which was made to actually function as a walking stick, with a metal tip at the base of the handle, and a knob on top. Another interesting feature is the leather-covered shank, handle, and spike rather than the typical wood.
