A Skull-Shaped Cane Knob Ivory, circa 1900
This is the handle of a cane. When used for walking, the tongue sticks out and the eyes roll into one of three positions - looking up, looking down, or completely white.
John Graham (1886-1961) Woman with Clear Eyes, 1958 Tempera, watercolor and pencil on paper
