Dark wooden libation stick. Long, thin and flat with one end pointed. Concave on one side, to prevent warping. There are three triangular raised sections with rectangular holes through them. The raised section at the end has a strip of cherry bark wrapped around and through the hole. The stick is decorated with lines and crosses, the three parallel lines indicating that this is from the group from the Sarugawa river who attended the Anglo-Japanese exhibition of 1910.
