The Elizabeth Cole Butler Collection.

Two model harpoons, lashed together in a cross-shape with a leather thong. Each has a wood handle, squared and thick at top, narrowing toward bottom where the larger one is capped by a small rounded piece of antler. The tops of each hold a pointed rod of tusk attached to the handle by strips of leather that pierce the wood and antler, and are tied off along the shaft. The thongs attaching the harpoons hold small projectile points, one of metal set in antler, the other with both point and body carved of antler.

Carving of a man and dog, on a stand (part a). Male figure (part b) is carved of tusk and stands with arms stretched in front of him. He wears a parka and leggings decorated with black paint around hem, hood, and wrists. Boots and mittens are also black. Facing him is a large dog (part c), white but for its black nose, eyes, mouth and claws. Dog has a thick tail that curves to rest on his back. Both figures have two wooden pegs in their feet that connect them to holes in the stand, which is a long rectangle of smoothed brown stone.

Carved basalt fish with stand. Long, sleek char-like fish is carved with particular attention to fins, including protruding dorsal and adipose at top, caudal at back, and anal, pelvic and pectoral at bottom. All are carved with delicate horizontal lines. Gills are shown just behind the face. Fish is attached to a thick rectangular base of the same stone by two short wooden posts.

Wooden toy-vendor tree. Tree is made of an upright central bar, in three connected pieces, with two widely spaced bars tied horizontally above midpoint on front. String connects the bars to each other in order to enhance balance. 102 toys are tied or connected by thin dowels to the horizontal bars: 12 standing birds, 14 birds on perches, 3 fish, 12 snakes, 5 crocodiles , 5 dancing couples on elastic string, 7 house boats, 10 canoes, 2 houses, 7 open boxes with either a small snake or turtle inside. Also included in this count are several mechanical toys: 10 armadillos with moveable tails and heads, 5 pairs of woodpeckers pecking a dowel, 5 pairs of people using a pounder, 5 pairs of birds pecking a box. The toys are painted in tempura, with the standing and perched birds realistically coloured, and the rest of the toys painted simply and brightly. Most of the toys have signatures or inscriptions of Spanish names, written in black paint.

Ceremonial war club. Club stick (part a) is long and relatively straight, covered in brown canvas and red felt. Ends are wrapped with narrow strips of fur. Top has an open loop created out of fur. Along the length of the stick are three tassels of horse hair, and several areas of blue glass beading, with the occasional inclusion of some brass beads. Part b is a round, hide wrapped stone. One half of the hide covering is painted dark blue. A braided thong of leather is sewn to the seams of the hide, and attaches two large cream and brown feathers and smaller red feathers with pink beading at the quills, and black glass beads around the thong, to the stone.
