Double headed rattle. The birds have thin pointed beaks, and flattened tops to their heads. The eyes are round and inlaid with haliotis. The body is globular with small projecting wings and a squared-off tail which has a faint black edge at the rear. The handle is lashed together with cherry bark. The rattle has had wood worm at some point in time.; Good condition but very fragile.

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
