A light brown piece used as a landscape into which 21 little white birds are resting in their nests.
The figure is a sculpture of a human torso from the shoulders up, is white-yellow in colour, has a well defined face with deep set eyes, a small sloped nose and has a closed mouth that is slightly frowning. Small C-shaped ears are carved on either side of the face, level to the eyes and the figure depicts chin-length hair that is represented by hatching marks on the head. The overall appearance of the figure is female. On the underside of the figure is a small brown hollow opening at the centre.
Two carved whalebone figures of an Inuit hunter (part a) and a dog (part b). The hunter is in a standing position with his right arm raised. A carved ivory knife (part c) and spear (part d-e) appear to be made to fit into the holes in each hand. The lining of the hunter's hood is made from black rubber, and he has dark inserts in his eyes. He has a hole in the bottom of one foot, suggesting he is missing a base. The dog's stance is rigid, as his body is straight from nose to tail, and he has two small black eyes and a round open mouth.
