Two pronged antler carving attached to a stone base. In the lowest section of the antler a human-like face is carved. Just above where the antler splits in two branches, is a carved water spirit(?) type creature with caribou fur for hair and flippers as hands and feet; at the end of that prong another smaller creature with flippers is carved. The other branch sticks out to the side and has a twist carved into most of its length; at the end is a bird-human type creature, carved as if it is biting the branch with a large beak; its two legs and an arm are extended out. The stone base is irregular, but almost square. Unsigned.
Large slab of aged, brown whale bone (part a) used as a base for a hunting scene. A carved stone hunter (part b) stands in a partial crouch at one end, holding a bow and arrow made of antler and sinew, pointed toward a stone caribou (parts c-f) at the other end. The caribou has its legs folded, and has an arrow sticking out of a hole in its side, as well as removable antlers on top of its head. Both stone carvings are positioned on the whale bone base by small pegs (parts g-h); the peg holes are in the man's right foot, and the stomach of the animal. Unsigned.
Ivory coloured, carved ring with a polar bear straddling the top. The ring is thinner at the bottom, widening toward the carving; one side of the band becomes the front paws of the bear, the other side the back paws; the gap between each set of legs creates a circle.

The bear has a wide open mouth with an oval hole and two very small holes at each side of the mouth. Unsigned.
