Cedar head ring. Object is made of a thick band of braided cedar bark that is joined into a ring at front by a braided wrapping of the same material. Ends have been trimmed and protrude on either side of the wrapping for several centimeters.

Chilkat style robe with woven designs and fringe. The design is in three panels, with an ancestor face in the middle and animal motifs above, below and to the sides. The design is yellow, light blue and dark brown on natural ground. A long twisted fringe of mixed wool and cedar bark hangs from the bottom. Two cotton ties are sewn to the top, along with eight (non-original) cotton twill hanging loops.

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.

Woven basketry hat. Small concave crown flares out to wide opening. Wide woven hat band sewn into interior. Bands of alternating dark and light brown strands adorn bottom and middle of hat. Crown is light brown and ringed with three light brown circles.

Small woven basket with fitted lid. Round neck. Body flares at the middle then curves back in to meet flat circular base. Decorated with a line of ducks and dashes around middle of body between two sets of three lines at neck and lower part. Lid is decorated with four ducks around a solid circle surrounded by a line. Decorations are a lighter colour on the outside from fading.

Woven basket. Base is constructed of large strips of cedar bark, while sides are woven from smaller strips. Basket is flexible. Two horizontal strips of cedar have been coloured at top just under the rim.

Coiled and twisted cedar bark rope. Coil is held together by a wide strip of bark wrapped around it, in one place, with printing in ink on one end: "3 ply cedar bark made by Hanna Marks 1976".

Dome shaped cedar bark hat. Hat is finely woven and uses a slight step pattern in construction as it narrows toward the top. A pattern of larger weaves is interspersed with the fine, encircling the hat at each step. On the inside sits a shaped headband made in a looser weave with a long, thin, twisted chin strap, also of bark, attached to either side.
