The wooden rectangular container is very small. Its sides are continuous and folded at the corners except for one that is secured with fiber ties. The bottom is sewn to the sides with light-colored ties (possibly cotton). It was originally covered with a natural resin varnish but from handling over time, much of it has rubbed off from its bulging sides. Overall, the box is stable and in good condition. Small bent-corner bowl with fluid engraving on all four sides. Condition is good. Peter NcNair 3/29/2005 Peter comments, "Best small box I've ever seen." It is a reduced rendering of a much larger box.
Carved stone pipe representing an eagle perched crosswise on a thin, curving platform. The bowl of the pipe is on the bird's back, and the stem is part of the platform. Wing and tail feathers are rendered in realistic detail but the rest of the body, feet and head are worked with minimal embellishment. Eye sockets are inset with lead. Such platform pipes are typical of the Hopewell culture, but this eagle is unique for the addition of the lead eyes and its very fine workmansip. There are a few equidistance tool marks cross wise which make it unusual as well. Condition: excellent.
The object is a carved feast bowl in the form of a seal. The bowl is saturated with eulachon or candlefish oil, which was eaten as a delicacy and used to soften dried berries.

The object is stable and in fair condition. There is an old crack in one end that is stable. There are two round holes through the bottom of the bowl, one at each end.
