Small, carved ulu type knife. The blade side is a half circle, with a sharply carved, curved outer edge. On one side a smooth hollow has been carved vertically down the blade close to the centre. The handle has a single centre stem attached to the flat edge of the blade at centre, and connects to a wide triangular hand-piece. The piece is covered with small surface scratches from construction, particularly near the sharpened edge.
Small carving of a seal. The animal has two large flippers extended at the back with a small triangular tail carved between them. Two fore flippers protrude to either side near the ventral front. The head is small and contains no discernable features.
Neck ring, hollow cast silver, open on one side. One surface of the ring has a design etched into it and the other side is smooth. On either side of the opening the metal is bent back on itself, and the bent portion is in the shape of an elongated triangle with several protrusions around the outside edge. There are two lengths of silver chain link (made of thin silver wire) attached across the open side of the neck ring, one longer than the other so that it hangs below the other. At the centre of each length of chain is attached a separately cast silver “mithun” or “buffalo head” ornament.
Painted and deeply carved wooden talking stick, or speaker's staff, depicting figures (from bottom to top): Dzunuk’wa, male, otter, male wearing headdress with abalone shell, a whale, and either an eagle or thunderbird at the very top. At the base of the talking stick a metal rod protrudes from the wood.
A chain necklace with a copper pendant in a shape of an arrow point and four faceted blue glass trade beads. The beads hang two on either side of the pendant.
