Description: (Collection Details)description Figure in ivory of girl striking a "sistrum". Cf. von Luschan, Altertumer von Benin, p. 476, and fig. 806. The features of the face are completely worn off by handling, except for the right ear. The figure is otherwise almost identical with von Luschan's illustration, except that it has the peaked headdress of von Lushcan's fig. 805. See also fig. 639b, p. 414, where a similar object is called "handle of a fly-whisk". For the "sistrum" see pp. 412-414. For costume, see chapter 2. See also Ling Roth, Pitt-Rivers, Read and Dalton.
