DescriptionOne end carved to represent a bird (raven?) head, painted with black and red. There are low proterburences on the head- probably ears. The area around the eyes is not painted; the inside of the beak and underneath the beak are painted red, as is the area between the ears. There is a ring of red around the stick 5 cm, from the painted edge of the head. The head itself is 10.6 cm long. A space under the head is hollowed out. The paining is quite crude.
