Basket with lid. Small oblong basket is tightly woven in an even weave, with a line of encircling images showing two large whales with a pair of pink birds to the side, and two boats with three sailors each on the opposite side. Dashes of pink and green circle the top of the basket and a line of green around the bottom. The lid (part b) shows two large birds to either side of the raised centre, surrounded by a pink and black line.

Model boat with figures and paddles. Boat (part a) is long and thin, narrowing toward ends, wider at midpoint. A black whale is painted on both sides of each end at the waterline. Bow is slightly taller than stern, with a protruding red piece at front. 11 benches span the width of the boat’s interior, each with a single figure seated upon it. One figure on a bench is separated from the boat (part b). Figures are painted with black hair, eyes and brows, most with green shirts, two with no shirt but green pants. Each holds a small loose paddle (parts c to l) balanced in their upheld hands. Paddles are painted with a green tip, dot and band.

Woven basket with designs. Basket is rectangular, long and thin, flaring slightly from bottom to rim, where remnants of flexible twisted cedar handles can be seen on one side, with a handle attached to the other side. The basket has a wide box weave in cedar bark on the base, and tightly wrapped grass on the body. Decoration consists of two encircling rows of red swastika designs along the top and bottom. One side has a scene of birds landing on a branch with foliage and red flowers. The opposite side shows a triangular pennant flag in purple with CANADA in orange. Purple flowers with green foliage sit at opposite corners of the image. (Note: basket has undergone repairs since the photo was taken.)

Wooden face mask. Face has a white painted background with heavy black brows, black rimmed eyes, and a thin black mustache over black teeth in a down-turned mouth. Chin and nostrils are red. Green and red lines decorate the cheeks and sides of chin are green. Hair is carved into thick diagonal strips and painted red, green and black. Back of mask is concave and unpainted.

Large burden basket with strap. Basket is constructed in a sturdy, open weave, wide at the mouth, narrowing sharply to a small rectangular base. Base is woven in a herringbone pattern. The lip is wrapped with cherry bark, which is also used as a decorative element in the body of the basket as strands of the warp. A rope of coarse plant fibre is attached around the lip by twists of cedar root, with a carrying strap of woven wool in dark brown and blue attached on one side.

Carved wooden club. Blade is a long leaf shape, increasingly thick toward the centre on both sides where a line runs down the spine from tip to hilt. Swirling foliage is carved into the surface, a natural light brown colour in crevices, with the surface painted a dark brown or black. The grip on the hilt is undecorated, smooth and rounded, Pommel is in the shape of a bird's head with patterning carved along back and top, under which is a large eye and curved, blunt beak.

Small round basket with lid. The basket (part a) is made in a fine, tight weave with two horizontal lines of open work on either side of a dark brown flower pattern at midpoint. Around the base is a bright orange stripe edged with dark brown. The rim is a wide strip of cedar attached to the body by woven grass. The lid (part b) is flat, slightly indented at centre, with a round knob. It is also decorated with openwork weaving, orange and brown encircling lines, and an orange and brown geometric pattern around the knob. A blue line circles the lid at midpoint, faded on the exterior but vibrant on the underside.
