Tall wooden talking stick, unpainted. The top has a long somewhat pointed tip, below which is a carved shark(?) face, with oval abalone inlays in the eyes, and 12 triangular inlays arranged in a row in the mouth, for teeth. Below the face wing-like(?) features are carved into the surface; below is a row of curved horizontal lines, then 11 circumference lines, creating 10 round segments. The piece ends in a wedge-shaped tail with carved elements on both sides. On the back is a small rectangular metal plaque with the dedication. Near the bottom are the intials D.R. in black marker.
