Tall, thin openwork carving. The carving sits on a small oval base and rises in several levels of "v" and inverted "v" shapes to a thin, roughly triangular block at top. Incorporated into the V shapes are three animal heads (bats?) with protruding cone-shaped eyes and finely carved snouts. The wood is densely grained.
