"There are only the pursued, the pursuing, the busy and the tired." — Nick Carraway, The Great Gatsby.

An atypical vernacular cane carving, in that the carving of the cane and the figures are not characteristic of the language of other folk art cane carvers—this carving is very much it's own. The monkeys are more anthropomorphic than monkeys usually are and have tension within their interaction. Though American in origin, the composition of the cane resembles African staffs and is believed to be African-American made.
