Rattle

Dance rattle in the shape of a raven carved from two pieces of wood. The raven's mouth is slightly open. The top of the rattle has a carved shaman figure reclining on the raven's back. The shaman's body is entirely painted red. The underside of the raven is carved with a low relief design of another bird, likely a hawk, with its beak curved downward and back into its mouth. The raven's wings extend away from the body on each side with painted designs on top. Below the carved bird face is another carved face which likely does not belong to a bird. Each component is painted with red, black, and white paint. The cylindrical handle protrudes from the rear of the raven.
