A hand-carved, hollowed out bamboo tube with a conical cap and a wooden handle that is finely carved with a mythical rainforest spirit sitting upon the upper end, looking out with large bulging eyes and posed with upraised knees and one hand placed on the chin of its expressive visage, only partially covering its toothy grin.
