content: This object has been reidentified as a drum stick, not a coup stick as originally cataloged. The enlargement on one side corresponds to the ceremonial sticks used by drummers in the Grass Dance to make the first strike, after which ordinary sticks were used. This collection also contains supports for the large drum of the type used in the Grass Dance (see catalog numbers EL6 and EL7).
