Description

Toggle made of ivory. It is widest at the midpoint, where a slot has been cut for attaching to a line. From there it curves and tapers toward each end. It is decorated on three surfaces with incised lines. The Smithsonian Institution's catalogue erroneously lists this item as a whistle or call.
