Mat creasers are almost always elaborated by carving, and often take the form of a bird. Ususally they are quite flat, but this one has the hand-comfortable shape of a fat duck. The bulbous body and smoothly sculptured head and tail are reminiscent of some Salish rattles. (Holm, Spirit and Ancestor, 1987)

This model whale is one of the more naturalistically carved in Northwest Coast art. Even if it represents a minke whale, the smallest of the fin-backed baleen whales known to the Makah, it is only half as long as it ought to be in relation to the model canoe it accompanies. (Holm, Spirit and Ancestor, 1987)

The paint is red, white, black, and dark blue.

This model pole is remarkable in its very close resemblance to the original full-sized pole from Howkan, Alaska. Most miniature poles are copies only in that they represent the same figures as the originals, but are otherwise carved in the modelmaker's own style. Perhaps this model was made by the carver of Chief Skulka's pole from Howkan. The name Skulka is painted in large letters across the base. (Holm, Spirit and Ancestor, 1987)
