Baccarat - Concentric

Baccarat Concentric (ref 30)

A miniature two-row (?) concentric in Red, White and Blue and a touch of Green.

This example raises an academic question: Is the large central cane motif really two tightly packed rows of concentric canes around a star cane? The white and red star pattern cane surrounded by white and red arrow canes is often used as a single complex cane. But the additional surround of small white rods with red core is, perhaps, an unusual feature for a single complex cane. But, as stated, this is all rather academic.

The weight, although quite basic, has an attractive quality.

(Unfortunately the photo is slightly out of focus, hence a lack of crispness in the canes.)
