Cow Dance Figure2803/1

Cow-shaped wooden carving with a solid wooden base between the four feet. The cow hasa pair of carved water birds on its back, painted white, and green glass eyes. There are two (goat?) horns attached to its head. Foam has been nailed around the wooden base and a thick cotton rope is looped between the legs to form straps for wearing it. The carving is painted black and has white markings and words painted over it, with spashes of bright blue paint. '2007' is painted on the back right leg; 'No1' is painted below each eye.
