Wooden feast dish (parts a-i) consisting of three large, deeply carved bowls (parts a-c), the whole forming a supernatural creature called a sisiutl. The bowls each sit of 2 sets of wheels that are loosely joined by mortise and tenon arrangements. The two end bowls (parts a and c) each depict the head and body of the serpent with a large protruding snout, carved eyes, ears and bared teeth. The middle bowl (part b) has a carved and painted human-like face on the sides, with two hands on the joins. Two large ladles (parts d-e) balance in the mouths of the sisuitl, projecting outward like tongues, held in by their handles. On top of the heads are four horn-like extensions (parts f-i), one at each end and two in the middle section. The bowl is painted with black, white, green, red and yellow design elements. There are holes in the overlapping slotted pieces for dowels (not incl. with dish).

Carved wooden stool with a flat seat, made of a thick, round slab of wood, carved along the edge in lines of encircling triangles and zig zags. The seat is supported by 6 human figures, each with a large head, long face with carved eyes, long nose and upturned mouths, and small beard below chin. Torsos protrud, backs sway slightly, knees bend, and lower legs recede. Feet are large. The figures stand on a round platform similar in size and shape to the seat. It is decorated with incised diagonal lines along the edge.

Large fish hook in a ‘V’ shape, with a pointed bone barb lashed to the thicker arm, positioned inside the ‘V’, with wound cedar root. Lashed to the thinner arm at mid-point in a similar fashion is a short, twisted cord.

Large wooden ladle. Bowl has flat base and is deep and long, with a triangular piece missing from the tip, and a small hole bored through the wood at the rear bottom. A slight rim line has been carved into the interior, just under the lip. Bowl's curve extends part way up the handle, ending in a long cylindrical grip.
