« An undecorated birch bark container is a large berry pail that may be unfinished. Like the previously described baskets, it is made from a single folded and sewn piece of bark with the outer surface facing inside. The sewing has been done with string and there is a large, rectangular patch on one side; there is no rim (fig. 15). A similar but finished specimen with a flat lid is illustrated by Speck (1930, p. 441, fig. 115). Such baskets might also have been used for storing dried and pounded fish. » Vanstone, James W. "The Speck Collection of Montagnais Material Culture from the Lower St. Lawrence Drainage, Quebec." Fieldiana. Anthropology. New Series, No. 5 (October 29, 1982), p.10, fig 15 (p.43).
Very large tapa cloth (shroud type) with a light orange background, painted with a grid of squares that fully cover the piece. Each grid is filled with a linear pattern of concentric boxes or horizontal wavy lines in dark brown. On top of this are painted thick stripes running from top to bottom in brown-grey with leaf shapes protruding from the middle lines, and triangles from the side lines. The long edges of the tapa have been left uncoloured, and have been painted with cross hatching and numbers in brown. One end of the piece has been cut, while the other is finished. The underside of the tapa is also painted orange, but undecorated except for the patterning that shows through from the front.
