A wooden rattle carved in the form of a ?pigeon with a small head, wings and tail. The handle of the rattle is bound with string to keep the two sections together. Inside the rattle small objects can be heard. The bird has been painted blue and black.; Good
The shape of the rattle, the small head of the bird, the fat body with tiny wings is reminiscent of Nootkan rattles which leads me to suggest is is from this area rather than Kwakiutl as the catalogue card suggests (G.Crowther). The original European tribal names and, where possible, current tribal names have both been given in separate GLT fields.; Rattles were used during winter ceremonials and were an essential aspect of chiefly regalia.
