On the central piece and facing one another are two standing figures in the round probably representing tigers. Each of the curved terminals ends in a rattle shaped like animal head with club-shaped horns, protuberant eyes with hollow centres, broad turned up muzzle, open jaws with four corner tusks, small outstanding ears, and a small hole in the forehead. The lower jaw and the the sides of the head granulated. At theback of the head there is an animal head and neck in the round. Near the base of the terminal there is another animal with a head similar to the larger head and with a snake-like body which ends in an animal head. The sides of this body is embellished with bands of diamonds. The eyes of all the animals have hollow centres, and were probably once set with turquoise. It has been broken in several places and is covered with green and red patina as well as with thick green and red incrustations.

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
