The paint is red and black.

This whistle is unusual in that it combines two completely different sound-producing mechanisms. Whistles widely varying in size and pitch as well as in tone quality were used to represent the presence of certain spirit motivators of the Winter Ceremonial. This whistle belongs to the Tseyka version of the Bukwus (Man of the Ground). (Holm, Crooked Beak of Heaven, 1972)

The pigment is red. The cord is cotton. The down is bird.

Red-dyed cedar bark is distributed at the start of the Tseyka dances and is the symbol of that important ceremony. Cedar bark head rings are worn by the participants. In the above poster, notice the Kwakwaka'wakw women wearing cedar bark head rings and button blankets.

This broad-bowled ladle appears to be of sheep horn. The bowl and shank of the handle have been worked very thin and shaped by steaming and bending. The finial of the handle is left with its natural curve and carved to represent a bear-like creature and a bird. Both have eyes of abalone shell. (Holm, Crooked Beak of Heaven, 1972)
