Chocolate mixer or whisk, 'Batidor'. Intricately carved pommel made of bone on the end of the handle which leads to a brass ring at the joint of the wooden handle. The handle is a cylinder of wood which has several bands of incised decoration on the length of it. The head of the whisk consists of three segmented sections, each of which has a ring around it carved from the same piece of wood as the main object. Each ring has intricate carved decoration and is freely rotating on the whisk.

There is a cut out section with bone discs sandwiched between the top and the bottom of the pommel.
