clappers

Wind instrument? (or possibly clapper?), formed from two pieces of tapering wood, hollowed out, and of circular cross section, with the mouthpiece at the smaller end, blackened except for the mouthpiece, a binding of twined vegetal material near the mouthpiece, and a second indentation for a further binding midway down the instrument, now missing, but present when the drawing was executed for the registration slip. This missing binding was identified as 'fibre' at the time of accession, whereas that at the mouthpiece was called 'cord'.
