Terracotta vessel in the form of a human kneeling with a semi-circular stirrup handle attached at the back of the head and lower back. A cylindrical spout extends out at an angle from the top of stirrup handle at the point which it starts to curve downward. The figure kneels on one knee and holds a square shield in the opposite hand and a ring mace in the other. The figure is wearing a headdress with a monkey head in the centre front, above which is a tall plumage-like decoration. There are discs on either side of the headdress with excised depressions painted a red-orange. There are excised depressions (painted red-orange) on the decoration, the perimeter of the shield, and on the tunic-like garment the figure is depicted as wearing. There are break repairs and small missing pieces at the base of the headdress, around the hand holding the mace, at both points of contact with the handle, as well as where the plumage of the headdress meets the discs. Vessel is decorated using cream and red slips.
Carved and painted model totem pole. Pole has an eagle at top, wings at sides, feet planted on a small bentwood box. The box is balanced on the head of a human, with protruding nose and painted features, wearing a shoulder cloak. With his hands and feet the man grips a downward facing whale. The whale has a green and black torso with carved and painted eyes and open mouth showing clenched white teeth behind red lips. Its nose plunges into the pole’s rectangular wooden stand which is painted red and green. The back of the pole has been partially hollowed out.
Hand painted glass lantern slide. A 3-sided rectangular wooden frame holds the irregular or broken glass plate that has been hand painted on the back. The scene shows a First Nations chief being shot, with a gun right on the side of his head. He is wearing a red scarf, brown jacket and tall animal skin headdress, on a black background. The gun is held by an arm emerging from the right. The glass is held to the frame by grooves in the wood as well as small pieces of tin inserted in the wood behind the pane. An irregularly shaped wood bar crosses over the back side of the glass, glued to the frame at top and bottom.
Hand painted glass lantern slide. The square plate shows an image of a grey bear in combat with two humans. The bear stands upright, in contact with a man in a blue cloak, bleeding, who is stabbing the bear’s chest and stomach with a long spear. The bear bleeds from the spear wound, as well as from its mouth. The second figure stands behind the first and hefts a spear at shoulder level, aimed at the bear. The background of the image is black. (No frame.)
Hand painted glass lantern slide. Part a is glass slide covered with an image of two human figures in red skirts and sashes to the left of a full, grey moon.

Part c is a second glass slide pointed at one end, with a black painted area in the lower centre. When matched with part a, the black part covers the leaping figure, leaving just the figure who appears to be 'carrying' the moon with a burden belt? Part b is a broken corner of part a. (No frame; irregularly shaped or broken glass.)
