content: From card: "Carved and burnt wood representing a snake attacked by a bird." From second card: "Illus.: Ewers, John C. Plains Indian Sculpture; Fig. 137, pg. 146. Identified there as a bird on snake effigy dance wand; carved and painted wood, feather pendant. Wand is in the form of a painted snake with a painted bird astride its back. It is probably of Sioux origin. Its loose ring suggests that it might also have served as a tapper. (John C. Ewers)".
