    Object Description

    Geometric shaped column-like form that flares slightly at the top and bottom. The top is incised with V-shaped grooves. Two wings project from this central shape and cross symmetrically in the front and back but are roughly ovoid at the sides. In the upper section of these ovoid sections are holes that in context held arms. These are abstracted manifestations of vuhwera initiation dancers wearing cross bands made of plant fibre.
