Drum and drumstick. Round drum (part a) is made of skin stretched over a circular wood frame and nailed to secure along the frame’s bottom edge. On the underside, thin strips of hide are connected in 4 places to the frame and come together in the centre, tightly wrapped around themselves, to join at a small wood handle. The face of the drum shows a painted lightning-snake design, with a large centrally placed head showing bared teeth and curling hair in red and blue, the long thin body wrapping around the outside edge of the drum top. Part b is the drum stick, consisting of a long wooden shaft, rounded, and a leather covered head attached by a leather strip wound around the stick's neck.

Spirit of the Ancestors-The Tlookwana is the most important winter ceremonial of the Nuu-chah-nulth. Initiate dancers are taken away by wolves, taught by them, and later recaptured by their family. After their recapture, they perform the dances given to them during their training. This rattle depicts a dancer wearing a traditional wolf headdress of the type worn during the Tlookwana.
