Gift as a memorial to Dr. Harlow Brooks

Large wooden spoon; undecorated. (3051/1928-1947 were grouped together as a similar lot of 20 wooden spoons or ladles, out of the larger group of 1928 spoons.)

Horn spoon with carved designs on handle. Goat horn bowl with two rows of incised linear design on top. The bone handle has horn inlay elements and carved designs, including a pair of eyes on each of two sides (one of the inlays for the 'eyes' has fallen out), and circular and oval inlays on the front. The tip of the handle is carved of horn.

Horn spoon with carved designs on handle. Goat horn bowl with two rows of incised linear design on top and a crosshatched and carved design on the bottom, near the handle. The bone handle has horn inlay elements and carved designs, including a pair of eyes on each of two sides (three of the inlays for the 'eyes' have fallen out) and four diamond inlays on the front. The tip of the handle is carved of horn.

Large wooden spoon with carved designs all the way around the handle; the top four cm of the tip and the bowl are uncarved.

Rattle made of six cones of tin attached to a wooden handle. The cones consist of different sizes, three wide and long, and three shorter and smaller in diameter. All are crimped at the handle, where they fit into a metal ring that joins them to the handle. Each cone widens toward the base. The larger three contain a wire hung with a metal nut as a clapper. The cones are decorated with circle and line motifs pressed into the tin. The wooden handle has an engraved line that spirals from end to end.

Wooden bow. The limbs of the bow have a dark striped appearance with alternating bands of dark brown and black wood. The limbs have two bulges at either end to support the bowstring and the body of the bow comes to a prominent point at one end. The wood of the shaft is smoothed and polished in appearance with only minor traces of fine-grained dirt present near the pointed end. The bowstring is formed into two looped knots at either end to allow placement on the bow limbs. The wood at the looped ends of the bowstring is mottled dark brown and yellow–brown in appearance with the topmost layer of wood flaked off in places.

Wooden bow. The limbs of the bow are smoothed and pointed with woven fibre bands at either end. The bowstring is slightly misshapen and bent with evidence of severe fraying and deterioration of the looped ends, so that one end of the string can no longer be placed onto the bow limb. Between the weave of the woven end pieces of the bow limbs there is dark dirt caked into the material, and the woven fibres are discoloured a darker brown. At one end of the body of the bow there are also present circular rings of fibre in addition to the woven fibre piece.

Wooden bow. The bow is slightly curved upwards at either end and glossy in appearance. There appear to be three very lightly carved rings or marks around either end. The bowstring, part b, has two fibrous, woven ends that form loops to fit on the bow.

Wooden bow. The body of the bow (part a) is slightly curved with blunt ends and a bundle of woven fibres fixed to one end. The fibres are woven loosely enough to allow some movement of the bundle along the bow limbs. The bowstring (part b) is misshapen and stiff with fraying of wood fibres along its length, and two woven loops at either end. The loop that is unattached to part a has a long frayed end with many wood fibres hanging loose.
