ОписаниеWalking stick or gentleman's cane with antisemitic figure as topper, c.1800s
The topper is in the shape of a man’s head with an elongated ‘Jewish’ nose i.e. an antisemitic object. The item was owned by a German man who arrived in Australia in the 1880s.
Items such as these embody the antisemitic racial stereotype deliberately chosen by their carriers.
