This is a one off chance to obtain a finely carved unique walking stick dating from 1901. The walking stick was made by a prisoner at the prison camp set up by the British at the hill station in Diyatalawa Ceylon to house prisoners during the Boer War (1899-1902). The walking stick is finely carved in a local hard wood and inscribed 'Boeren Kamp Ceylon 1901). The handle is carved superbly from horn in the shape of a horse hoof with a metal shoe attached. The quality of the workmanship is outstanding. Prisoners produced these items to sell using the money to buy extra food and other necessities.
This type of item is known as POW Trench Art and is collected all over the world. Boer War items made by South African/Dutch prisoners is highly collectable.
The walking stick is 88 cm in length.
THIS STICK HAS BEEN ESTIMATED BY ONE OF THE WORLDS LEADING AUCTION HOUSES. THEIR VIEW IS THAT AN AUCTION ESTIMATE ON £2000+ IS APPROPRIATE IN A SPECIALIST SALE. IF NOT SOLD ON HERE OR OTHER SIGHTS WHERE LISTING THE STICK WILL BE PLACED IN A SALE WITH THE AUCTION HOUSE LATER THIS YEAR.
Camps for Boers - Ceylon (Sri Lanka)
When St Helena filled up, Ceylon was chosen as a destination. A large camp was set up at the hill station at
Diyatalawa. The hill station proved to be good for the health of the incarcerated.
In India the Boers were given more food that was contained in a soldier's rations. They enjoyed more meat,
potatoes, green vegetables and rice. Jam, condensed milk and soap were also issued.
The conditions did not stop escape attempts. Five prisoners were boarded a Russian steamer in Colombo
harbour. They made their way to the Crimea and from there to St Petersburg where the locals, sympathetic to the Boer cause, celebrated their escape. The men visited Kruger in Holland and made their way back to South Africa

Antique walking stick, with dog's head as handle. Bull dog or boxer brachycephalic type of dog, with the cruel totally cropped ears that are hopefully no longer allowed. Yellow glass eyes - not matching but quite expressive (right eye is quite baleful). Very nice rendition of the dog, and beautiful patina to the wood. Modern rubber cap fitted to the end - removable. Late 1800s. Stick measures 84 cm long. Very good condition - has a minor natural split in the wood above one eye, but does not detract from the dog's expression or the usage of the stick. « Less

Unusual inkwell, made from a horse's hoof with silver plate on brass mount and fitted horse shoe. The lid is engraved "St. Lawrence. 1896-1913". I'm assuming St. Lawrence was the name of the horse - he may have been a racehorse.
Item measures 9.6 cm high, 12.4 cm front to back and 10 cm wide. Hinged lid opens to reveal the inkwell, which has a lift-out well. There is wear to the silver plate on the lid, both inside and out, and to one side top mount (see photos), otherwise very good condition. Hoof is in perfect condition. Very unusual item.
