Walking stick - Brass, Bamboo - Bastone swagger

1930s colonial-style cane in bamboo, brass, and bone.



The 'colonial command staff' refers to various types of ceremonial sticks and symbols of authority used by leaders and dignitaries in colonial contexts that represent power, status, protection, and spiritual connection. However, it is not a single type but a concept that unites ritual objects such as African fetishes or Oceanic carved symbols of sovereignty and divine connection, distinct from military (field marshals) or walking sticks.
