Long spear. Shaft is made from a light grass material, maintaining diameter until it is shaved slightly at its proximal end where it joins with the spearhead. Strands of fibre are wound tightly many times around the connection. Head is of a dark brown wood, possibly Peruvian walnut, long, with four small, sharpened barbs along one side.
Long arrow. Shaft is made from a light grass material, maintaining diameter until it is shaved slightly at its proximal end where it joins with the arrowhead. Strands of fibre are wound tightly many times around the connection. Head is of a dark brown wood, possibly Peruvian walnut. Two flared barbs sit at midpoint, narrowing to a point. Edges above barbs are sharpened. Lines of geometric design are etched into the arrowhead around barbs are below midpoint.
Long arrow. Shaft is made from a light grass material. A fletching of two feathers is attached to the base by fibre twine, where a thick line of adhesive begins to spiral part way down the shaft. The shaft maintains its diameter along its length until it is shaved slightly at its proximal end where it joins with the arrowhead. Strands of fibre are wound tightly many times around the connection. Head is of a dark brown wood, possibly Peruvian walnut. Proximal portion of head is rounded, squaring toward centre, then narrowing to a long, sharp, distal point. Etched into the head are ‘x’ designs.
Bow, made of a heavy dark wood, is relatively wide at centre, narrowing toward each end where it culminates in carved pegs. A braided rope of cotton spans the length of the bow and is knotted around each peg. The centre portion of the bow is fully wrapped with thin cotton fibre. Designs have been drawn on both sides of the fibre in black ink.
Clay pot. Vessel has a small, flat, round base, from which the body flares to a bulbous belly and then inclines to a tall, narrower neck with slightly flared rim. Exterior bottom of body is painted dark orange, while above the bowl is a light yellow with fine linear designs in black, representing the Shipibo concept of the interconnectivity of the universe. Occasional shapes in orange appear among the designs. The interior of the bowl is unpainted.
Round clay bowl. Vessel has a small round base, from which the body flares widely toward the midpoint. Bowl inclines from midpoint to mouth. Exterior below midpoint is painted in two shades of orange, glazed. Above, bowl is painted a light yellow with a fine, lightly incised linear design representing the Shipibo concept of the interconnectivity of the universe. Some lines are emphasized with dark brown paint, and occasional orange blocks of colour appear among the designs. The interior of the bowl is raw, painted sparsely in thick white and orange lines similar to those on the exterior.
Large clay pot. Vessel has a small round base, slightly concave, from which the body flares widely to a bulbous belly, then inclining to a tall, sloped neck with slightly flared rim. Bottom of body is unpainted, while midpoint is painted in blocks of light yellow and dark brown. Shoulder and neck hold linear designs in dark brown that represent the Shipibo concept of the interconnectivity of the universe. The rim and interior are painted dark brown.
Small spindle whorl. The long, thin wooden shaft is pointed at both ends, thicker at centre, where it pierces a clay bead. Encircling lines in brown, black and white paint decorate the shaft on both sides of the bead. The bead is long, round, and narrow, decorated with incised lines in geometric shaped, and filled with paint in white and orange.
Small spindle and whorl. The long, thin wooden shaft is pointed at both ends, thicker at centre, where it pierces a clay bead. Small sections of black paint, very worn, decorate the shaft on both sides of the bead. The bead is wide and bulbous pointed at midpoint, with a line of dripping black paint above the midpoint, and a single encircling line of red brown below.
Small spindle and whorl. The long, thin wooden shaft is pointed at both ends, thicker at centre, where it pierces a clay bead. Encircling stripes of white, brown, and red brown paint decorate the shaft on both sides of the bead. The bead is bulbous, painted black, with three groups of concentric circles carved into the clay and painted white.
