Woven belt with bone attachments. Wide belt is made in a tight basket weave from thin strips of light and dark brown leather. Buckle is made of two pieces of bone, smoothly carved into rectangles, with a prong nailed to one that fits into a tube joint in the other. Several figures are etched into the bone, including a hunter and a woman in lightweight clothing, and tools such as an oil lamp, ulu, and chopper, among others. Back of belt has similar pieces attached, with images including a walrus and person paddling a boat. Two small undecorated buttons and a long undecorated loop are also attached to the back. Many of the images are accompanied by small Inuktitut syllabics.

Sealskin pouch. Small bag is rounded on bottom with a flap covering the opening at top. No handles are present. Bag is made from light brown leather with dark brown piping at the edges, and circular and square patches of the same set at regular intervals on front and edge for decoration. A curved piece of bone, flattened on front surface, serves as a handle for the flap and is etched and painted with the silhouette of a seal. A tie is attached to two of the decorative circles on the front, which loops over the bone to hold the pouch closed.

Two model harpoons, lashed together in a cross-shape with a leather thong. Each has a wood handle, squared and thick at top, narrowing toward bottom where the larger one is capped by a small rounded piece of antler. The tops of each hold a pointed rod of tusk attached to the handle by strips of leather that pierce the wood and antler, and are tied off along the shaft. The thongs attaching the harpoons hold small projectile points, one of metal set in antler, the other with both point and body carved of antler.

Small container carved from tusk. Container is an elongated hexagon, tall, with a crenellated rim. Interior narrows toward bottom, following the line of the tusk’s pulp cavity. On front is engraved an igloo below Inuktitut syllabics, while on the back is etched a stone lamp(?), also with syllabics. Both etchings are emphasized with black, while syllabics are in-painted with red. A channel is carved around the exterior at the bottom, to create the illusion of a base.

In her arms she holds a nursing child, its legs extended over her bent leg. The mother’s facial features and ears are defined, as are her hands which are placed on the child’s back.

Walrus-shaped, almost flat but slightly concave piece of hollowed tusk. Overall the piece takes the outline of a walrus head with wide open mouth and protruding tusk, narrowing toward the rounded opposite end. Interior is concave and undecorated. Exterior is etched with a scene in which a sled pulled by 5 trotting dogs carries two people along with their packages. An igloo stands in the background to the right. The walrus’s whisker follicles and eye are also etched in. The etchings are filled with a dark paint or ink substance to make them more visible.

Facing him is a large dog (part c), white but for its black nose, eyes, mouth and claws. Dog has a thick tail that curves to rest on his back. Both figures have two wooden pegs in their feet that connect them to holes in the stand, which is a long rectangle of smoothed brown stone.
