Snake Skin Walking Cane – Real Rattlesnake Skin Folk Art Stick

This rare handcrafted walking cane is wrapped in genuine snake skin, possibly from an Eastern Diamondback or Timber Rattlesnake, showcasing a realistic scale texture and pattern. The natural crook handle provides a comfortable grip, while the wooden core ensures durability.
