The cap of this whip is carved from bone in the form of a Boxer's head. The bone has darkened with age and there is a fine crack on the top of the head (please look at the images). The eyes are made of facet cut amethysts which catch the light beautifully. The has a silver collar with floral decoration and a blank shield for engraving. It is not hallmarked so it may be plated. There are a couple of dents in the silver. The rest of the shaft is covered in braided brown thread. The shaft has a curve in it, but could be slowly straightened with steam. There is no lash at its end, but one could be attached.
