Sincerely, / H. Whicker'. 6.07 grams, 37cm (14 1/2"). Fine condition. [No Reserve]

Ex North London gentleman; previously in the Walter Dilling collection, Liverpool, UK, and Windibanks auctions.
Footnotes
A 'sevenfold cord' was used at the wedding ceremony of Zoroastrian couples to ritually bind the groom; the number seven has religious significance among the Parsee sect.
