Description

A walking stick made of one piece of wood and a handle carved as a grotesque of a Jewish man. In Europe, everyday objects such as ceramics, toys and even walking sticks were commonly decorated with grotesque Jewish faces. These walking sticks are examples of racial anti -Semitism that have been part of everyday life.
