Dagger Cane
- Culture: Turkish
- Measurements: overall length 36 inches (91.4cm)
This Turkish cane is crafted entirely of metal and enveloped in intricate niello metalwork. An instrument of self-defense, this cane conceals a nearly eight-inch dagger. The handle in the shape of a growling feline could have been used as a bludgeon, while the pointed ferrule doubles as a spear.
