On both sides of the wider side of the fish hook there is a row of three grey stone inlays, one of which is missing. On the underside of the hook at the wider end, there are two blue stone(?) inlays, and directly below is a circular metal inlay which is the underside of the metal hook from the top.

Two carved whalebone figures of an Inuit hunter (part a) and a dog (part b). The hunter is in a standing position with his right arm raised.

The lining of the hunter's hood is made from black rubber, and he has dark inserts in his eyes. He has a hole in the bottom of one foot, suggesting he is missing a base. The dog's stance is rigid, as his body is straight from nose to tail, and he has two small black eyes and a round open mouth.
