|手杖为湘妃竹制,杖首啄鸠鸟首,以和阗白玉雕琢而成,玉色温润沉着,且因历来产量稀少而备受珍视。所雕鸠雀长喙紧闭、眼睛雕圆。造型简练圆润。玉鸠下方榫口和杖身之间有一圈铜鎏金构件相连。杖身四节,笔直修长,下端着地处为防磨损,亦以铜鎏金构件连接,可以想见手杖着地时敲击砖石地面的清脆之声,于低调含蓄中彰显高贵的皇室气派。杖身成褐红色,包浆光润,其上满布自然的云纹紫斑,乃上等湘妃竹所制。鸠杖的起源至少可以追溯到汉代,因其杖首以鸠鸟纹为饰而得名,老人年始七十者由政府授给。传说鸠为不噎之鸟,刻鸠纹于杖头,可望老者食时防噎。《后汉书•礼仪志》云:“年始七十者,授之以玉杖,八十、九十礼有加赐,玉杖长九尺,端以鸠鸟为饰。鸠者,不噎之鸟也,欲老人不噎。”关于鸠杖,还有这样一段记载,据《风俗通》所录,刘邦与项羽战,刘邦败逃藏于草丛之中,这时有鸠鸟鸣于头上,追者以为鸟下必无人,刘邦遂得以走脱。后来刘邦认为鸠鸟为祥瑞之禽并感激其恩,于是作鸠杖赐与老人。
