This unique cane has been made using approximately 27 ounces of sterling silver, just under 1.5 ounces of 14 and 18 karat gold and over a month of work to complete.

The stone on top is a jasper intarsia, accompanied by red jasper and black onyx. It is surrounded by gold artemisia leaves. The neck depicts two green men and the body is ringed with 11 silver and gold rings, each one hand engraved with a different pattern.

The top is a pill box, this unscrews to reveal a 125 ml flask, the entire cane is a silver flask. This would make ideal for a use similar to Toulouse Lautrec's cane: The small flask to contain absinthe and the the main body of the cane for water.
