Nepalese Serpentine Form Vine

Single lazy wave of reddish metal, ending in a sharp little point.

This serpentine vine wood piece is from Nepal, and dates to the early 20th century. Naturally twisting vines and branches have long been collected in the Himalayan region and used as walking sticks, ritual staffs and decorative objects. Slender rod bent into broad, gentle S-curves that taper to a fine point at the foot. The top curls over into a tiny hook. Surface is dull orange-brown with faint texture along its length. It is 48.5 inches wide.

Takes the scenic route from one end to the other.
