Fragment3007/1

Deeply carved wooden fragment. Carving shows a mirrored pair of birds, sitting foot to foot. One bird ends at the neck where the wood narrows to a small rounded, pointed end. There are remnants of what appears to be a type of root(?) and a short piece of leather(?) wound around this end, as well as some black thread has been added to hold the wrappings in place. The other end has been broken off above the bird's head.

Drum2995/1

Painted drum with a painted design of a bullhead fish. Round drum made of deer hide tightly stretched over a yellow cedar ring. The hide extends around the bottom of the ring where it is fastened to itself by 6 strands of sinew that extend out from the hide and meet in the centre where they are attached to a small piece of antler that also serves as a holder while the drum is being played. The painted image on the face of the drum is a black and red stylized fish with a forked tail, small black dorsal fin, three barbel-like extensions above its two large eyes and an open mouth displaying a set of sharp, pointed teeth.
