Description

Four (parts a-d) small wood paddles painted in black with a design of a bird. Both parts a and b have on each side, a thin black ovoid in tapering oval eye within a black-outlined ovoid that has a black-outlined u form underneath while a black-outlined semi-oval is at the tip with a black L-shape underneath. Part c has a similar eye form but with the following in addition: on one side, the eye is plain while the other eye has eye lashes; on one side, the u form underneath has black cross hatching while the other side has a thin line down the middle; while both sides have cross hatching and dots in the semi-oval at the tip and the L-shape underneath, respectively, the other side has dots above as well. Part d has a similar eye form but with the following in addition: while one eye is plain, the other eye has eye lashes; however, both have cross hatching in the u form underneath and the semi-oval at the tip with dots in the L-shape below. All four parts have a two-feathered wing-like feature coming from a central black-outlined ovoid; however, the various designs are as follows: Part a has a black top feather and a cross hatched bottom feather on both side; part b has two black feathers on one side while the other side has a diagonal lined top feather and a black bottom feather; part c has a black top feather and a cross hatched bottom feather on one side while the other side has an elongated black top feather and a black bottom feather; and part d has a black top feather and a cross hatched bottom feather on both sides. The lower portion of the body near the handle end is dotted on all four pieces (parts a-d). All of the handles have a horizontal cylindrical finial. Parts a, b, and d have a pair of black diagonal lines running in the same direction near the handle finial, except that part d reverses direction on the other side. Part c has a black u-line near the handle finial.
