Large flute in two pieces. Thin, carved, black, wood figure, with large winged bird on its head, has braids of plant fibre with shells and bone and a long, elephant trunk-like nose hanging down, and a long red and white tail. Figure's face is covered with tattoos in beige and red. The upper figure (part a) fits into the flute section (part b) which is a large piece of bamboo, with a large hole top and bottom, covered with carved and stained black designs, and with reed basketry at top and base.

Elongated oval shaped tool which curves upwards at both ends. Irregular rough surface on inner face, in white and yellow. Outer face is a layered bone structure, tan and brown, and pitted.

Plain long thin piece which tapers to a point with barbs on each side.

Thin, hide belt with a row of small fish ear bones (otoliths) sewn down the centre, flanked on both sides by rows of red and white beads. Tusk hook and eye closure.

Bone was originally cataloged separately by material type, although with duplicate numbers by AINW. Catalog entries were combined by the Burke Museum as specimens have one catalog number and are stored together in one bag. Grant J. Snitker 04/20/2011
