Comments:
Wood (unknown) was used to make this one pieced paddle. This paddle has a beautiful shape, has a top notch, and is finely carved on both sides. The blade is longer than the handle (92 cm) and very decorative. There are two pairs of eyes on the front of the blade. One side of the blade is slightly convex and the other side is convex.
