Identified there as a Tlingit shaman's bow. "Wands, batons, spears, daggers, and other items were used for display, carried in the hands by Tlingit chiefs and shamans on state occasions like potlatches and festivals. This oversized bow has a carved human head at each end, one singing and one talking. Similar paired faces were carved on shaman's headrests used during fasting (Wardwell 1978:87). Ceremonial bows were often made with matching arrows, and were sometimes used in curing ceremonies."
