Necklace comprised of four strings of blue-grey beads attached to a rusted metal zipper end, and fragments of a bird’s beak. The beak forms the lower most decoration of the necklace and acts as a pendant along with the zipper. The four doubled over strands of seeds are bundled together and tied with medium blue fibre about a third of the way up from the beak and zipper decoration. The zipper end and beak are attached to the bundles by thick, brown woven plant fibres.

Long seed necklace. The necklace is made from light brown seeds strung onto a single strand of synthetic fibre. Aside from the brown seeds there is also present a single blue-grey seed.

Bone dagger. The body of the dagger is formed from a cassowary leg bone, partially cut to expose the hollow interior and shaped into a fine point. The head of the bone is wrapped with a woven plant fibre casing, continuing into five thin strands of woven fibre. These each attach to two groups of blue seeds attached to short grey and long, fine black feathers. The woven casing around the thick end of the dagger has three painted bands of orange pigment. At the bottom point is a small incised cut running in a band across the bone. The head of the bone is red, with the remainder of bone yellow-brown to brown.

Bone dagger. The body of the dagger is made from a bone that has been shaved away on one half to reveal the hollow interior of the bone. The surface of the bone is covered in marks and is stained with dirt. A faint carved mark appears on the underside of the dagger. The midsection of the piece is circumscribed with a thin, black, carved ring. The head of the bone is wrapped in a thickly woven plant fibre casing. This woven casing has seven strands coming off of it which are decorated with two sets of two blue or white seeds each and sets of two black beads connected to bundles of brown and black feathers. The tops of these seven bundles are wound with the same strands of natural fibre, and some of the strands extend past the length of the black feathers.

Bone dagger. The body of the dagger is made from a bone that has been shaved away on one half to reveal the hollow interior. The surface is covered in marks and is stained with dirt. The tip has been broken off. The head of the bone is wrapped in a woven plant fibre casing. This casing has ten strands coming off of it, each of which is decorated with blue and red seeds and black beads, culminating in bundles of brown and black feathers. The tops of these bundles are wound with the same strands of natural fibre. The casing around the head of the bone is otherwise undecorated aside from a single string of fibre that forms a large loop extending upwards from the casing.

Wooden ceremonial paddle. The paddle consists of a forked, elliptical-shaped end with two small, inward facing notches, an intricately carved wooden middle section which extends out from the neck of the paddle in a rectangular shape, and a top section consisting of woven fibres covering the wooden neck and attached strings of multi-coloured seeds and various feathers. The seeds are grey-blue, white and red-grey in colour and are strung along one edge of the woven fibre casing, forming small loops from which the ends of the white and brown feathers are attached. The mid-section of the paddle is indicative of a paddle blade, with eight cuts through the wood in half moon shapes and incised with v-shaped patterns, winding lines and curled abstract motifs. Extending in either direction from the centre are incised abstract shapes generally following an elaborate v-shaped pattern. The forked end of the paddle is carved in the shape of an elongated half oval and is undecorated.

Plain wooden rattle. The rattle’s head is made of two rounded, oblong pieces of deeply concave wood, hollowed on the inside, attached to each other on both long edges by strands of plant fibre (cedar root?), threaded through holes bored in the wood. The head is undecorated. Inside are noisemakers, possibly seeds. The handle is long, thin, and cylindrical, made of two similarly sized and shaped pieces of wood carved to fit together, hollow on the inside and held together by three metal nails. A small tuft of cotton thread is attached around the bottom nail on both sides. A decorative jog has been created in the connection point between the two pieces of wood on both sides of the handle.

Ceremonial bark cloth costume. The garment is a vest, slightly longer in front, completely open along the sides, with narrow shoulders and a deep v-neck at front. On the front a large toucan bird is attached at centre, wings spread to the sides, beak pointing downward. Linear designs have been lightly carved into the beak. To the bird’s sides two smaller beaks are sewn to the cloth, as are groupings of feathers dyed red, yellow and brown, several with seeds at their centre. Yellow and red feathers surround the v-neck. On the back of the garments is a smaller bird, black, with a serrated yellow and black beak and a strip of red and white feathers on the tail. Large, dyed feathers splay outward from the top of the body. Portions of bird beaks surround the creature. On front and back of vest, the bark cloth is heavily painted with zigzag, ‘x’ and other motifs in brown, yellow and red. Small, oval, black and red seeds line the edges and neck of the vest, as well as a decorative strip of feathers near the bottom where additional bark cloth has been sewn to the garment, front and back. Small dyed feathers hang from quills below this strip, while long feathers dangle from the bottom of the vest. These are dyed blue yellow and orange.

Rectangular basketry bag woven in a diagonal pattern. Long grass fringe at both bottom and top. Decorated with multi-coloured fabric strips attached to bad with beaded and seed thread. The top three attachments also hold carved teeth. The handle is five twisted pieces joined together by a knot at top.

Woven bilum with curved bottom and handle. Fibre surface is decorated with a geometric pattern in pink and purple. Bag is also decorated with seed and feather ornaments, attached with beaded ties, all over one side and the egdes. The woven handle has small cowrie shells wound around it.
