A grease dish carved into the shape of a seal, with the head projecting beyond the body of the dish, unfortunately the tail has been broken off. The seal is carved in the configurative style with its front flippers clearly visible on the side of the dish. The entire outside of the dish is carved with ovoids and U-forms, comprising the seal' s body. The outside of the dish is badly cracked, but the inside is intact. The inside of the dish has a noticeable ridge running round the bottom and bifurcating at either end to join the rim of the dish. There is also some traces of the grease at both ends of the bowl. The ridge may possibly be a vestige of birch bark precursors (G.Crowther).; Good
Small rectangular bowl with the characteristic undulating rim and identical bilaterally symmetrical decoration at both ends. The sides have parallel grooves at either end, and a groove following the edge of the rim. The bowl is dark coloured suggesting use and has traces of grease impregnating the wood. One end of the bowl has a split which has been crudely repaired using a metal staple. The decoration on the ends is highly abstract, possibly being an eagle, but more probably being deliberately ambiguous to allow an identity to be asserted by successive owners (G.Crowther).; Good
