A tactile and characterful small fishing priest, hand-carved from natural deer antler and fitted with a simple leather wrist loop. Beautiful organic form with rich mottled grain and natural variation throughout, giving it a sculptural, almost primitive aesthetic.
Compact and nicely weighted in the hand, this example has a pleasing curve and smooth worn finish from use and age. The butt end shows the natural porous structure of the antler, adding to its authenticity and charm.
Perfect as a traditional angling accessory, or equally appealing as a decorative object for a country house, study, or sporting interior.
