A) Large rectangular bowl with the characteristic undulating rim and identical bilaterally symmetrical decoration at both ends. The rim is studded with operculum shells, some of which are missing. The sides have parallel grooves at either end, and a groove following the edge of the rim. The bowl is dark coloured and has traces of grease impregnating the wood. The oolichan grease served in such bowls tends to be absorbed following the grain of the wood, and therefore is more noticeable at the ends of the bowls rather than the centre. As the grease soaked ends dry out there is a tendency for the ends to split, as has happened to this bowl. The splits have been repaired by inserting strips of wood. B) Small rectangular bowl with the characteristic undulating rim. The sides of the bowl are decorated with parallel grooves at either end, and a groove which follows the edge of the rim. The ends of the bowl are decorated with identical bilaterally symmetrical designs painted black and red. One end of the bowl has split.; 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
Bowl carved from alder with characteristic undulating rim which is high at the ends and dips on the sides. The bowl is carved in the form of a beaver, with a projecting snout revealing large incisors clenching the characteristic chewing stick which is held by paws. The sides of the bowl form the beaver' s body, having legs, and the end is shaped into a projecting, crosshatched, tail. This end is also decorated with ovoids and U-forms. Inside the bowl the rim can be seen to be a flange. Thelight colour of the wood suggests the bowl has never been used.; Good
