content: Item consists of two small sticks, about two inches in length, attached with what looks like a strip of rawhide. In Sept. 2014, the brittle rawhide broke when the catalog number tags were removed prior to photographing the object. Greta Hansen, conservator, examined the object and determined that the damage could not be repaired.
