Wooden navigation figure. The carving is of two similar wooden figures attached along their backs and heads, facing in opposite directions. The figures end at their thighs, which attach to a base of lime 'cement' with stingray spines embedded in it, projecting downward. Eight spines were originally attached, with four on each side, but currently two are broken off at the base and four others are partly broken. The figure has a long knotted and looped fibre cord attached at the top of the heads.
