Heddle or loom pulley carved of wood, with two back-to-back figures. One figure appears to be a female with carved breasts, and the other has a collar-like protrusion. The two figures share the top of a head with carved angled lines. The facial features are carved, with long, narrow heads, large ears, long narrow noses, and small mouths. Their torsos are also carved with angled lines. Beneath the figures, a wooden spool is mounted on a metal shaft between two rectangular brackets. Dark brown thread is inserted through a hole in the figure's heads, and tied to create a small tassel.
