Description: | ROUMANIA Four-crook killick. This resembles the killick of the Yenesei Ostyaks, but the stone is round instead of slab-like, and the boughs are cut to leave the crooks at their ends.
Scale: Unknown. A model of a killick from Roumania consisting of a large spherical stone which is secured in a wooden frame consisting of four wooden grown boughs. There is a rope securing the four wooden uprights together at the base of the stone which sits in the crutch of the boughs. The branches, which form a grapnel, are at roughly ninety degree angles to the stone and have small projections underneath the stone which finish flush at the neck.
Possibly made by Robert Morton Nance.
