Small elongated, oval dish with two pedestal feet. There is a bird perched at each end of the dish facing outwards with their wings raised as if in flight. The bird species are written on the base in pencil: one is "Nowya" which is seagull (Nauja in Inuktitut), and the other is "Kiing-ma-la".

Model leister (kakivak). It has a wooden shaft, a central prong and two side prongs. Prong joint is wrapped in thick black thread.

54 beads strung on a metal wire, with metal clasp at one end and loop on the opposite. Each bead is carved from tusk and shaped into a oblong orb. The surface of the beads has been polished to a shine. Colour varies in each bead, and is often mottled, from dark amber to light yellow. (Part b is a detached bead. Parts c-d are the old clasp: two round plastic tube-shaped pieces that screw together, and each has a hole in the end.)
