Hello /his/ I have a question. Where did my cane come from? It's solid ivory from the ornament down, and it seems to be engraved with some sort of asian art. Do any of you recognize the markings?

Probably Chinese.
Unlikely to be more than a couple of hundred years old.
Likely made as a souveneir for export to Europe back when China was closed to the West but for that little strip of trading posts.
Kinda cool, if you want an answer from someone who knows what they are talking about, you can always take it to an antiquarian at the nearest major museum with an anthropology departament, I'm sure they could help, and would probably get a kick out of it too.
