Walking Stick3092/6

Walking stick surmounted by a two-faced head. The two-faced carving has one face with a closed mouth with fangs, and another with an open mouth and protruding tongue. The eyes of each face are inlaid with shell. The staff is made from rough wood (or possibly root?). There is a thick fibrous cord attaching the top of the staff to the main shaft. The cord, handle and carving are all coloured with a reddish-brown ochre pigment.
