Clapper1885.66.17

Clappers very finely carved in the form of a killerwhale. The killerwhale is expertly executed with U- forms and deep inlaid (haliotis) ovoids. Its mouth is painted red, and there are fins close to the sides of the body, the dorsal fin has a small humanoid face where the blow hole would be positioned, suggesting transformation. 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
