Description
A brown, wooden, carved staff. Two figures stand side-by-side at the top. Six smaller figures with short rectangular faces and large ears stand in a row along the sides just below them. Three small round heads are in between these two rows on the sides. Triangles have been carved out in between the three heads. Near the bottom two pairs of figures are carved with each pair sitting back-to-back. All the figures with arms are carved so that their hands clasp over their stomach.
