The bamboo instrument (part a) is a plucked idiophone known as mukkuri in Ainu. It is made of a flat long wooden stick which extends into a wider rectangular shape at one end. Within the first piece there are two slits which go along the stick in a prong-like shape; a red string loop is attached. The second piece (part b) is a paper document with orange designs and black and white writing characters with a picture of the object in the bottom middle.

Long metal sword (part a) with decorative leather casing (part b). End of sword handle is metal-tipped, has series of red coloured scalloped edges and ends with a green scalloped piece that holds the blade. Beyond the green piece is the sword sheath or casing. Body of casing is shaped by a series of six thin-edged knobs that are spaced with three narrow areas and are decorated with two large centralized shield-like knobs on either side of the sword. Each are decorated with interwoven geometric designs made of black, light-yellow and dark red grasses(?). Attached to the two large central knobs are two brown toggles with two strands of looped black cording. Hanging downwards from the central knobs are two long and wide overlapping leather flaps with spaghetti-thin pieces of leather. The long flaps are decorated with intricately cut and dyed geometric designs, as is the tapered, oval-shaped tip of the swords' sheath.

A light brown cover with some of the bark dyed red to create a design. The sides have an alternating pattern of vertical lines and a floral design within a diamond-shape. The bottom has a four-pointed star with a flower on top of a spiral in the centre, and four flowers in between the points of the star. The rim is wrapped with a silvery foil covered over by red-dyed bark in equal rectangular intervals to create an alternating pattern. Dark brown fibre is wrapped around and stitched around the rim.

A tall circular brown bark container decorated with dyed quills. The design consists of two flowers with green stems and leaves. One flower is red outlined with purple, and the other flower is purple outlined with red. Both flowers have a brown dot in the centre surrounded by a red five-pointed middle with two brown lines emanating from in between each point. The top and the bottom of the container are overlapped with a strip of bark that has a curved semi-circle pattern facing the centre. The bottom and the top of the container, as well as the sides of the lid, are rimmed with bark strips that are perpendicular to the rim lines. There are strips of soft hide attached to the sides of the container and the lid.

An oval box (part a) and lid (part b) covered in geometric quillwork. On top of the lid there is a black diamond-shaped pattern outlined with blue. The central diamond has orange vertical and horizontal lines in the centre. The outer partial diamonds have white diagonal lines in a feather-shape. The background is white with orange triangles and blue lines. Around the sides of the lid is an alternating pattern of white diamond-vertical line-dot-vertical line-diamond. Along the sides of the container are zigzag lines starting with white and orange at the top all the way down to blue, black, white, red, and blue and orange on the bottom.

A loom with a lightly coloured wood bow which curves and has a tan hide piece attached at one end and the strings for the weaving tied at the other end. One piece of bark separates the strings from each other as they are threaded through its holes, and another piece of bark is used to compress the quills used to create the weave design. The weave pattern alternates between yellow squares with a blue inner line and a green outer line, and green and red squares witha yellow inner line and a blue outer line. The background is white with a red line along the edges. The back of the hide reads "Dorothy Minoza / Fort ____ / N. W. T. / April 24/77"

Box has two red vertical bars across the top--four paper fish silhouettes are laid across the bars, with an additional fish glued to the box in the background, creating a sense of depth. Across the top of the box is a wide strip of red paper printed with gold circular shapes with characters in the centre. Two red paper pennants fly from the top corners of the box.
