Description

Brown, wooden handle topped by a large, elliptical-shaped face with a pointed head and chin. 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, has round black eyes and an open mouth bridged by wood running from the nose to 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.
