Description

Please read my entire listing thoroughly and view all 12 of my PHOTOS :-)
This is a hand-carved talking stick made by Jim Yelton, it is signed on the back by the artist(see photo #5).  Measures about 21 7/8" long x 2 7/8" deep x 1" 5/8" across, weight is .93 pounds on my scale.  In addition to the signature on the back. at the top it is stamped "Leaders In Action 99" and Overwaitea Food Group"(see phtoo #6).  Condition is very good, it has some light scratches but overall it looks very nice and has great natural patina.  I have posted 12 photos, all are of the actual item I am selling here and are an important part of my description.
