Bone club with flat paddle-shape. There is a human-like head carved midway down the shaft. The sides of the face are on the flat edge, with the figure's nose and extended tongue on a narrow edge. On the porous side of the bone, there are two faded crescent-shapes painted in red and black. The shaft tapers in to a handle with a small hole through it.
