Source term: жужжалка (museum catalog class)
жужжалка, 'buzzer,' is the museum's blanket class for the whole series — including the three blade-and-handle pieces whose rigging is the roarer's.
Made in Khabarovsk in 2005, this Amur whirrer keeps its whole working rig: an oval wooden blade, a thirty-centimetre loop of cord, and a slim handle. The blade is only 12.3 centimetres long; velvet trims the carved wood before the cord runs from its top hole to the cylindrical grip.
Фигурка из цельного куска дерева в виде овала, расширенного книзу. В верхней части в отверстие продета нить, связанная в кольцо, с другой стороны нить закреплена за цилиндрической формы палочку.
A figure carved from a single piece of wood in the form of an oval widening toward the base. Through a hole in the upper part a cord is threaded and tied in a ring; at the other side the cord is fastened to a stick of cylindrical form.
