Rounded, copper cast container with lid. A lotus flower is carved into the lid and base with leaves around the flower. There is a raised circle that surrounds the flower and leaves and where the leaves connect to the circle there are openings cut into the metal. Around the edges of the container there are flower petals engraved into the metal and at the base there are three leaves in between each petal.

A set of two brooches on a brown piece of paper with an inscription on both sides (part c). One brooch is a small yarn doll (part a) with a green dress, tan-coloured skin, blue eyes, a red mouth, and black hair, with arms open at the sides and a safety pin at the back. The second is a metal brooch in the shape of an eagle, with its wings outstretched (part b).
Wooden pipe with carved face. The pipe is long with a thick round outcropping at midpoint, hollowed. Above, the wood is evenly wrapped for 7 cm with thin coiled copper wire, up to where a smooth round head is carved. The face is flat with a long nose decorated with four incised circles. Two eyes sit to either side of the nose, made of embedded small red beads. Three small holes are bored into the top and sides of the head. An incised ring has been cut in the wood near the bottom end of the pipe.
Wooden mask with very long raffia hair. Mask has a narrow pointed chin with an open mouth, small nose, and closed eyes with narrow slits for viewing holes. The brows are pronounced, a double line, rounded, meeting above the nose. Brows and eyelids are emphasized with small, evenly placed pieces of a bronze coloured metal. At the temples are carved small rectangular protrusions and the forehead is covered with rounded lines of protruding dots, holding small metal nails as decoration. Above the forehead are three prow shaped protrusions, decorated at their top ridges with metal, and carved lines down the sides. The crown of the head from the temples is decorated with embedded cowrie shells. Holes pierce the wood below the cheeks, and a wide ring of wood surrounds the mask on sides and bottom. Attached to this are mounds of raffia palm strips that serve as hair.
