Description | Flat piece of wood, with very deep notch from each side middle, forming a narrow bridge between the slightly shorter triangular end and the other end which is divided into three lengthwise sections, the middle one being a crude representation of a bird, and the outer two rougly triangular; these may possibly represent the bird's wings. Dr. Speck says this is not used in any way, is merely an object of art. |
