Walking stick with ivory inserts - Southern Italy, 19th century

The elongated rounded dark-coloured handle has a circular insert at the top, which can be identified as Cerasuolo coral (Corallo cerasuolo, Corallum Eliatus). Separating the handle from the long wooden body is a small, narrow elephant ivory ring. A little further down, there is a thin dividing band, also made of ivory, with a posthumous inscription: ‘PALERMO F.C 1900’.
