Hardwood rattle. Two complementary parts in from of a raven. The raven’s body is strongly curved, and its wings are folded; an unusual triangular pattern marks the tail. Reclining figure on a raven's back – likely a shaman, indicated by the prominent ribs. The whole is dominated by the long, serrated forms extending upward from two small side-by-side faces on the raven’s chest, reaching over the raven’s breast and into the hands of the human. On the raven’s belly is carved the stylized face of the supernatural being, with a small humanlike face below emerging from beneath the raven’s feet, a representation of the bird’s cloaca. Tied together with brass wire. (Interior likely holds pebbles, beads or lead shot.)
Bird-shaped rattle with long protruding handle. Bird has a narrow neck and head that tapers upwards from the body. The top of the rattle is a flat surface and widens to the shape of two wings and a tail feather. The body of the bird is underneath the wings and is bulbous in shape. The handle protrudes from underneath the tail feather.
Two sides of face painted on uncarved wooden board. One front piece representing nose and mouth. Design painted in blue and red. Cedar fringe at the back. (Similar to A4494).

The end of the dark brown, wooden handle has a large, leaf-like pattern to one side. The wooden handle is fitted into a scroll designed brass band. The blade is thin where it meets the handle, is bent and redirected upwards, and gets thicker towards the point.
A dark black wood mask with two stylized faces forehead to forehead and having forked ends. The foreheads are in the middle and are upraised.
