RattleE 1903.57

The catalogue card states, A ceremonial rattle of magical powers, with painted carving in relief, depicting the legend of Ka-ka-tele, the whistling demon. This description refers to a raven rattle. The tip of the raven' s beak is slightly broken, but it is holding a small red block - the sun according to myths. Lying on the raven' s back is a red humanoid figure which has its hands on its knees and legs spread. The humanoid figure shares a tongue with a long thin beaked bird. The bird could be a kingfisher as it has a four feather plumage extending from the rear of its head. The belly of the raven is expertly carved and painted with elaborate U-forms and ovoids which form a hook nosed creature, possibly a hawk, but highly ambiguous. The tips of the raven' s wings extend towards the back of the rattle, and the handle is wrapped with cherry bark.; Good

The tail is also the face of a bear with the bifurcating tail being its ears. The clappers are painted red, blue-green and black. The handle narrows, making the flexible join necessary to produce sound, the two pieces are pinned with a copper nail. The killerwhale section of the clappers are hollow.; Good
