Staff made of a solid piece of rounded wood, tapering slightly toward the bottom. A silver grip crowns the top of the staff and is decorated with incised designs of plants, trees, and lines. Several narrow silver bands encircle the staff, some with incised linear decoration. A thick, braided silver wire criss-crosses down the length of the staff with a silver cross dangling at its end. The bottom of the stick is encased in a sheet of undecorated metal that narrows to a sharp tip.
Large beige wool blanket with a long wool fringe at one end. Six stripes of stroud cloth (four brown, one red and one dark blue) are incorporated into the body of the blanket (after weaving). The red stripe also has a green piece of fabric woven in with it. (The thick twisted fringe has lost some pieces.)
Deeply carved wooden fragment. Carving shows a mirrored pair of birds, sitting foot to foot. One bird ends at the neck where the wood narrows to a small rounded, pointed end. There are remnants of what appears to be a type of root(?) and a short piece of leather(?) wound around this end, as well as some black thread has been added to hold the wrappings in place. The other end has been broken off above the bird's head.
Woven, almost square, patterned mat. Woven design is in shades of beige, light brown and black which form wide horizontal and vertical bands, diagonal bands along the edges and a dark and light H pattern in the horizontal bands. There is a thicker border woven over the mat on both sides, about 5 cm from the edges, that runs all the way around the square. The back is similar to the front except much of the black area is done in a light brown weave so the H design is in beige and light brown.
Horizontally rectangular "Wasp Dance" painting, on paper. Painting shows two figures performing a wasp dance, in full regalia of feathered costumes and masks each with long nose and needles protruding from the end. The left figure has a green stinger at rear while the right has a face with intense eyes and a wide grinning mouth on the torso. Both figures have bare feet. Painting is signed in the bottom right with blue ink.
Painting of a battle scene between light skinned men in historically styled uniforms bearing swords, some riding horses, and darker skinned men in loin cloths, some in headbands, carrying axes, spears, daggers and torches. The scene takes place in a forest at night. In the foreground are several fallen and injured men from both sides of the battle, as well as a cannon and wagon with cannon balls. To the rear of the image is a troupe of loin-clothed men descending on the altercation.
Painting of a wedding scene. The bride and groom stand in centre front, surrounded by well-wishers, some on horseback, others on foot, all in dress clothes. The church they stand in front of is pink with a grey roof, where more people celebrate with upraised arms. To the side, several people climb stairs to the roof. A stream and flowers lay in the bottom right corner, and in the background is a tall tree, grey and green hills, and a dark blue sky.
Painting of prisoners on the deck of a ship. The painting shows a pirate ship in grey and brown, with the word “Negrie” on its side. A pirate flag flutters in the top right corner. Several dark skinned men, bare chested and in colourful shorts, are chained together in the foreground, with light skinned men in uniform ranged behind them. One stands in the rigging of the ship. The ocean is light blue and pink, with sea spray rising at the front. The sky is dark purple and blue.
Painting of a giantess in a blue and red headdress, blue shirt and red skirt walks angrily through a town, trailing destruction in her wake. Buildings crumble and fall at angles, a strong wind tears branches and leaves from trees. Some people threaten her with rods, while others try to hold up their tents. Still others fall into the water in the foreground where several animals are already stranded. Water rushes from the centre left of the image to the river below.
Painting of a disaster scene with people running from collapsing buildings and power poles. Houses of brick and concrete are crumbling and in disarray, people and cars are caught under debris. A power pole is falling. People in the foreground run in all directions. A woman panics at the site of the destruction. A single green house in the rear stands strong. In the distance is a blue sky with white clouds, rolling hills, and green trees.
