Antique Tooled Pizzle Leather Dog/Seal Riding Crop, Circa 19th Century. Obscure folk art tooled riding crop constructed from pizzle (penis) leather likely from a bull. The use of this material can been seen in riding crops and canes from the 19th century, but a form this detailed is quite rare. The majority of these styles are often simple, with the maker of this piece paying very special attention to the head detailing and applied contrast leather collar. Likely formed to resemble a dog or seal pup. A true oddity. Unsigned.
