Carved Wooden Implement with Incised Decoration and Fibre Loop – Ethnographic Object Description: Hand-carved wooden implement of elongated form, tapering to a pointed end. One end is fitted with a hollowed, cylindrical section featuring incised geometric decoration arranged in panels of diagonal lines. The hollow section includes a lateral perforation and an attached twisted fibre loop, likely intended for suspension or handling. The surface shows clear signs of age and use, including patina, wear, and minor losses consistent with prolonged handling. The wood has developed a smooth, darkened surface typical of utilitarian or functional objects rather than purely decorative pieces. The precise cultural origin and original function are unknown. Comparable objects are sometimes described in ethnographic contexts as tools, ceremonial implements, or multi-purpose utilitarian items. This piece is offered strictly as an ethnographic or tribal-style artefact, without attribution to a specific culture, region, or ritual use. Materials: • Carved wood • Natural fibre cord Condition: Good overall condition for an ethnographic object of this type. Wear, surface scratches, and small chips present. Fibre loop shows age and fraying. No modern alterations. Above is a description made by Chatgpt
