Description

Round beaded staff with feathers and beads hanging from hide cords along the length. The staff is completely covered in beadwork, long stripes of animal fur and hide, so that the material of the staff itself is hidden. The top end has an elongated, off-white bird head carved in plastic (made to look like bone), ending in the pointed beak. A long hide thong attached along the side holds a combination of long brown feathers, and plastic beads on shorter thongs.
