Coiled basket is round in shape, with walls flaring from a small base toward its widest point at centre height. Shoulder slopes inward and neck stands straight. Dark brown images are woven into the basket, showing human figures interspersed with checkered squares.
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.)
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.
Wooden bow. The bow has a smoothed surface with a carved point at one end and two sections of woven fibre at either end. At the obtuse end there is also a wrapped ring of thicker plant fibre, probably serving as a rest for the bowstring. The bowstring is slightly misshapen and bent in sections. The ends are formed into loops which are fraying and loosened. One loop is smaller but has been separated into many thin, woody strands.
Wooden bow. The body of the bow has a carved circular bulge or platform at one end where the woven looped end-piece of the bow string rests. Attached to the bow limbs are two small circular rings of woven fibres set slightly in from the ends, which are carved into points. The bowstring has only one woven loop, and the other end of the bowstring is misshapen and bends upwards to a broken point where the other loop would have existed.
