Raven RattleA5254

Hardwood rattle. Two complementary parts in from of a raven. The raven’s body is strongly curved, and its wings are folded; an unusual triangular pattern marks the tail. Reclining figure on a raven's back – likely a shaman, indicated by the prominent ribs. The whole is dominated by the long, serrated forms extending upward from two small side-by-side faces on the raven’s chest, reaching over the raven’s breast and into the hands of the human. On the raven’s belly is carved the stylized face of the supernatural being, with a small humanlike face below emerging from beneath the raven’s feet, a representation of the bird’s cloaca. Tied together with brass wire. (Interior likely holds pebbles, beads or lead shot.)
