in two sections, with a slender cylindrical handle joined together with wood pegs, an abstracted totemic face carved on the underside, with hooked openwork beak, the upper section carved in the form of a bird in flight, with head thrust upward, a triangular perforation on the lower beak, and repeated on the bird's head, its wings supporting a shaman figure, carved in the openwork style, with exaggerated angular limbs, and a large oval head with extended tongue projecting into the mouth of another bird, with carinated facial plane and flattened feather crest, the whole with red, black and blue painted details.
