Patterned, woven, rectangular mat with a square weave in an alternating checked pattern of natural and dyed brown grass.

These pieces are then woven into the pattern on the back, creating a distinguishable border.

Part f has a wide leather strap, dark brown-yellow in colour. Its oval buckle with a central prong is made of thin metal wire. Three belt holes pierce the leather. Parts g and h are identical: each has a small brass bell, wider at base, with brass clappers. They are attached by a leather thong to a large, wide strap.

The cord ends are unsealed and frayed. (Also, see mask: 2956/201 a, and costume: 2956/201 b-d.)

Each figure has short brown hair with a blue ribbon, a pink face, and stitched-on features in black thread. Each is connected to a small, round, two piece, unpainted wooden clapper. Bottle caps are attached to the bottom of the rattle’s cross shaped platform in pairs. The long handle protrudes from the bottom of the platform and is made of wood and metal, decorated with plastic tape in red and white.

Small carving of a polar bear and seal (part a). The bear stands on four legs in a wide stance, with a small carved tail at back, protruding ears atop the head, and engraved eyes and mouth on its face. The bear is consuming the seal, whose head disappears into the bear’s open mouth. The seal has two protruding fore flippers and one extended rear flipper. The other rear flipper is missing. A short wooden dowel is inserted into the stomach and held by adhesive, behind a small bored hole. Two black dots are painted on the stomach near the dowel. The stand (part b) is thin and flat, curves slightly to the left, and is also made of tusk. Through one end are bored two holes, one of which has been filled with adhesive and the other of which fits the wooden dowel of the seal. On the top near the centre, four dents have been carved to hold the feet of the bear. Adhesive fills the back two.

This sculpture of blown and sand-carved glass is red and black, the two signature colors for Northwest Coast art. It represents a killer whale, one of the crest designs of Tlingit artist Preston Singletary. It is made using traditional form-line designs with black forming the positive, primary spaces and red forming the negative, secondary spaces. The whale is arched, with flippers and tail fins down and dorsal fin up. It is in excellent condition.

A strand of twisted grey hair makes a circle under the flowers and leaves. On the bag’s edges is sewn a thick fringe of deer skin. The interior of the bag is lined with cotton in a small floral pattern. The closure sits at the centre of the bag’s opening, and is a strip of black felt with a metal snap.
