Gift as a memorial to Dr. Harlow Brooks

Dark grey (oxidized silver) ring. The ring is a solid tube around the inside, whereas the outer surface is carved out, extending away from the inner ring, to represent a mirrored image of an eagle head. The beak extends, three-dimensionally, 1 cm farther than the other side. M Green is signed within the design element at the back of the eagle's head.

Silver shawl pin (tupu) in the shape of a spoon with a gemstone in the centre. In the concave bowl of the spoon is an engraving of a two headed bird with full plumage, long tail feathers, and wings tucked in at sides. A crown sits in the space between the heads and is topped with a cross. The edge of the bowl is decorated with irregularly placed dots. Below the bowl are two decorative oval hoops, between which is an orange stone placed on the pin where it meets the bowl. The pin is long and tapers toward a point at bottom.

Silver shawl pin (tupu). On the head of the pin is a tableau of several birds, animals, branches and foliage with large glass “jewels” interspersed. Beneath this are many bored holes from which hang seven small coins on chains, some from Bolivia, others from Peru with years ranging from 1859 to 1878. The pin is long and tapered, and curves slightly inward.

Silver shawl pin (tupu) in the shape of a spoon. In the concave bowl of the spoon is an engraving of a large round-headed flower with a long delicate stem and a large pointed leaf on each side at the midway point. The stem continues partway down the neck of the pin. Two small spoons with handles are attached to the pin on each side of the neck near the bottom of the central bowl. Each has a similar flower engraved. The handle of the right spoon has four neatly punctured and evenly spaced holes. From the bottom of the handle hangs a short chain. The pin is long and tapers toward a point at bottom.

The paper is white. The ink is red, black, and silver.
