The interior of the bag is lined with light green twill and contains a pocket with a plastic zipper.
Quiver with two compartments formed from ground squirrel skins. The compartments are sewn together along their long edges by strips of rawhide. A strap of rawhide with toggles of hoof(?) comes from the bottom of the quiver and would likely have attached to a small strip of rawhide that is attached at the top.

Cable-backed, double recurve bow, made of musk ox horn. The main body of the bow is a long thick slab of horn, with copper rivets holding it together at its joins. Behind the horn is a layer of dark brown hide or skin running the full length. Each end of the horn bow has a knob projecting up and down, around which many strips of hide lashings have been wrapped from end to end. The lengthwise lashings are wrapped widthwise by other hide lashings and then the full thickness of the bow is wrapped near each end and in the middle. The bow string is looped around each end knob, and hangs loosely.

Through the hole is strung a long thin strip of hide, at the other end of which is attached an oblong wooden buoy.
