Elephant tusk. The tusk is curved, with a smooth, shiny surface. The colour gradates from a light yellow-white at the top open edge to a light brown near the tip. It is hollow and smooth on the inside, with thin walls and a wide opening at top that thickens and narrow toward the tip.
Cast bronze, hollow female head. The face has a pronounced brow with three small protruding marks above each eye, possibly representing scarification. Below the slightly protruding lips is a shallow jaw line leading to a long neck which is decorated with three thin rings. On the head is an elaborate headdress or hairstyle, starting at the hair line and culminating in a tall, thin cone-shaped projection at the top of the head that curves slightly forward. It is decorated with angled lines that are raised and crossed, making a diamond pattern. Decorations attached to the headdress hang down in front of the ears and at the back of the neck. The inside of the head is hollow and has a wire hanging halfway down from the point of the headdress.
Kneeling figure. The head is elongated and topped with a round headdress that has a deep bowl at its centre. Scratches in the bowl suggest it was used as a container in some form. Carved into the face are eyes and a mouth, a hole for a right ear, and at left, a large oval shape. Below the short neck is a narrow chest and two arms bent so that the hands rest on the stomach, where a hole has been bored. The left side of the figure shows a leg bent at the hip and knee, indicating the figure is kneeling. The right side beneath the arm is not clearly carved.
Standing figure. The head is large and oblong to front and back, with large ears carved on either side, protruding eyes, a wide nose, and a hint of a mouth. Below a short neck is a round and protruding torso at the chest and buttocks, leading to combined legs that are bent at the knees. The arms of the figure are slightly bent and meet the lower body at the thighs, where the hands are smoothed into the legs. The figure stands on a circular base.
