This small, carved, and likely wooden piece, is thought to be a gesp or clasp. It is estimated to have been created around the 1920s and depicts a bat with red, inlaid eyes. The artist is unknown but the work showcases the detail and artistry of this period. The small size of the piece, its dark coloration, and the intricate carved detail of the bat make it a fascinating artifact.
