Large terracotta vessel, broken and repaired. Pot is conical in shape, with a pointed base that widens dramatically to a bulbous shoulder. The small neck perches on the top of the pot, and has an outwardly flaring rim. Above the midpoint the pot is painted with two encircling lines of running birds (?) in black, white and dark brown, with an arrow shaped motif below them. The area around the neck is painted in repeating patterns of linear designs and triangles. Neck and rim have black decoration. The pot had been smashed and glued back together, with several small missing pieces.
Long spear. Shaft is made from a light grass material, maintaining diameter until its proximal end where it narrows to join with the spear neck. Strands of fibre are wound tightly many times around the connection, as well as at the shaft’s distal end. Remnants of glue here indicate further fibre wrappings. Spear neck is of a dark brown wood, while head is made of a lighter wood and lashed to neck with fibre. Head takes a leaf shape, flared at centre, narrowing to a pointed tip, concave on one side where it is painted black with box designs at centre. Opposite is decorated with a line of ‘v’ and diamond shaped designs. Remnants of red and yellow feathers can be seen in the lashing of head and neck. Neck holds several sets of engraved encircling lines.

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.
