A dentalium necklace. On the catalogue card a note from the donor is the only description, The beads are of the type used by the Hudson Bay Company in their trading days on the coast. I had to string them with thread, not having any old sinew ornettle-fibre but the other material was collected by my father from the Indians. My father and I have had at various times similar necklaces both from the Northern Kwakiutl and the Haida. The shell is quite common on the west coast of Vancouver Island. The necklace consists of twenty dentalium shells, two blue trade beads and eighteen small red glass beads.; Good

A labret made from white stone, which has a flange at one side.; Good

Two silver bracelets incised with crest designs.
