content: This object is a square, two-dimensional framework made of many pieces of split cane (bamboo?) rods tied together with a cellulosic fiber cordage. Attached on one side at various points with the same fiber cords are cowrie shells (30 in number). The cords in the shell appear to be secured into the shell with a white wool like material. Accompanying each shell is a typed paper label lashed to the rod with white thread. A pencil mark 'N' is visible on the center of one of the rods forming the outer square.
