Beaded knife holder. The dark red felt strap is outlined in green cotton and outlined with white beads. The knife pocket is dark green wool outlined with a blue fabric and white beads, with two horizontal bands of blue in the upper portion and decorated with small white beads. A geometric pattern of four squares of green beads joined and outlined with red beads runs along the holder vertically. The back of the strap is lined with cotton.

Ceramic candlestick with nativity scene in the base and three candle holders, covered with many different colours of wax. The central holder is open at the base so that wax has dripped onto the nativity scene below. In front of each candleholder is a red rosette in relief and a red band winds around the circumference of each candleholder. They are connected by two sets of horizontal arms painted yellow-white with brown detailing. The arms below are curved, creating a rounded hollow between each set of arms. The curve at the end of these arms suggests the form of hands. There is a cross-hatched pattern in pink-grey over a background of yellow-white painted on the front of the curved arms. In the centre is a motif of red and blue bisecting vertical, horizontal and diagonal lines. The 'hip' of the candlestick is opened to create a semicircular cavity, framed by a blue and yellow-white scalloped design around the upper portion. The bottom of the opening is framed with red cross-hatching and inside is a nativity scene. The virgin Mary wears a pink-grey dress and a brown cape with yellow-white trim and holds her palms together in prayer. Joseph has a beard, a red shirt, brown pants and a yellow-white cape and his hands are positioned upward. The child is painted pink and reclines on the floor between them. Also on the floor is small lamb painted yellow-white with brown and red detailing. Extending from the bottom of the object there are yellow-white oval shapes, with faded red detailing on the left and right sides.

Small wooden casket to hold bones. Object is made of a long, cylindrical piece of wood, hollow and open at both ends. The interior is raw and unfinished, while the exterior is smoother and painted in a pattern of black and white dots, white zigzagging lines, and a linear pattern in orange at one end.

It consists of a centre piece shaped to fit against the inverted 'V' shape of the deck of a kayak, with smaller pieces attached at each end with two iron rivets. The faces of the centre and end pieces are cut aslant where they join so that the end pieces extend inwards and upwards at a shallow angle. A piece of babiche connects the inner part of the end pieces to the centre piece by passing through holes drilled in each piece, and then wrapping around itself. A hole drilled through the joints at each end would have been used for mounting the holder to the kayak. One face of the centre piece has incised lines running from each mounting hole almost to the midpoint.

Lance holders, such as the one illustrated here, were attached close to the bow. The tip of a lance or harpoon would be inserted into one of the triangular openings, and the opposite end of the shaft would sit against a rest that was fastened to the kayak deck close to the cockpit.
