Would this be a handle to a parasol?

Can anyone tell what this might be and what is it made of. Is it tortoise?

Yes, a handle, but it appears to be made of briar burl.

what is briar burl

 

[johnnyi]

The burl is the very hard contorted grain of a tree, in this case the root of the briar bush. You usually find it used for pipes, but occasionally for canes also. http://images.google.com/imgres?img...v=/images?q=carved+briar+burl&hl=en&sa=G&um=1
