Antique Mid 19th C Gutta Percha Man Head Handle For Cane

Description

This is an antique mid 19th century gutta percha cane handle in the shape of a man’s head.
Unfortunately, I don’t have the rest of the cane.
It measures 3 1/4 inches tall including the screw (8.2 cm). The head itself is 2 5/8 inches tall and the screw 5/8 inch (6.6 cm, 1.6 cm). The head is 1 3/4 inches wide in both directions (4.4 cm).
It has one noticeable piece of damage. His nose is chipped off. There is general age related wear to the finish. Except for his nose, it is in good condition.
The screw has surface rust and it’s slightly crooked, but it is holding on very firmly.
It weighs a little under 3 ounces (80 g).
