Clapper25.0/270

Among the Kwakwaka'wakw the use of the clapper is reserved to the Mitla dancer, one of the performers in the Tseyka series. In the dance it is shaken rapidly and produces a staccato clattering sound. The whole instrument is carved and painted to represent the killer whale, with a thin upright dorsal fin and pectoral fins. (Holm, Crooked Beak of Heaven, 1972)
