This is a Wolf Clan Shaman's Dance Rattle. The Shaman is depicted between the ears of the wolf. When Mr. Jones visited the Royal British Columbia Museum in Victoria, BC with images of the rattle he had created they took it to the vault and showed him one that was very similar that they had in their collection
This Rattle is made from yellow cedar and is filled with beach stones. The Shaman has black hair that was contributed from Mr. Jones own head "gray hair, dandruff and all."
A little history about the Rattle from Mr. Jones: Sometime after he had completed the Rattle, his old dog Buck got hold of it and destroyed the handle (Buck was only a puppy at the time). After Mr. Jones and Buck had both recovered, Mr. Jones took a band saw and removed what was left of the handle, just below the jaw, and rebuilt it with a new handle.
