Description

Brown, wooden handle with a large, hexagonal face on the top. Carved from a single piece of wood, the face is much larger than the width of the handle and gives the impression of being mounted upon a pole. Face is mask-like, painted with faded white, black and red paint, having concentric circles for eyes, an open heart-shaped mouth and a goatee-like appendage on the chin. Entire object is permanently attached by a screw to a black metal stand with a square base. Initials "SP" are inscribed on the reverse in white.
