Wooden shield. The front is decorated with carved and painted abstract patterns. The top and bottom sections of the shield are painted red with ochre pigment, and two thinner black bands border the carved panel of decoration that covers the majority of the shield. The carved decoration consists of two sections, top and bottom, featuring four sets of conjoined coiled shapes with a diamond pattern at the centre. These are painted red and are raised above the background, which is white. Running between the upper and lower sets of coiled shapes are two undulating raised shapes which are in-filled with red pigment. The central diamond is raised and painted red with a white diamond in relief surrounding it. Part b is a fragment of the shield which fits into the upper left corner, decorated with one half of a coiled line motif. A considerable fragment of the upper section of the shield is missing as are large portions of the borders around the sides of the shield.
Model totem pole. The base of the pole is carved to show a kneeling bear partially painted black, front paws resting on the centre of the chest. The bear is surmounted by a large spotted frog facing upward, legs wrapped around to the sides of the pole. Above the animal’s open mouth is a small red canoe holding three human faces. A second upward facing frog sits above this, also spotted and with legs clutching the pole. A human figure surmounts the pole, legs bent, toes pointing inward, hands on knees to either side of a large rounded belly. The face is wide, with a red mustache and brows, and a smooth, bald head. The back of the pole has been hollowed.
Carved and painted model pole. The base of the pole is carved to show a seated human figure partially painted red, toes pointed inward, hands grasping a small bear around its waist. Its open mouth shows teeth, with heavy brows over wide set eyes. Above this figure are carved five more bears. Three smaller bears are painted with black spine and rib lines, two face downward and one up. A large bear sits at centre facing front, all feet turned toward his spotted belly. At the very top a smaller bear also faces front with paws resting on its chest. The back of the pole has been hollowed out.
Painted model canoe. The body of the canoe is wide in the centre line, narrowing toward both the bow and stern, where it rises high above the deck. The keep is pronounced, the bottom of the boat very slightly rounded. The outer hull is painted with black formline images from gunwales to keel, while the interior and base are undecorated. Lacquer covers the exterior.
