Brown cylindrical stick, with a tapered point, is made from the branch of a tree.
Two pieces of soft hide neatly sewn on three sides with the raw edges and the flesh side of the hide on the inside. Towards the opening, there is a piece of hide sewn into the seam and divided into four thongs. The other seam has a piece of hide divided into two thongs plus one extra. The top is raw-edged and has holes, some forming loops, and the hide is tied in a knot over the bag opening.
Smooth light brown cylindrical length of wood.
Hollowed length of light brown branch smoothed and decorated with a wide incised horizontal band near the middle. Branch tapers at bottom. A round stone is fitted inside the base. A hole has been drilled through the side of the branch near the top.
A straight, brown stick, sharpened at one end, the opposite end is forked and has a small branch with hardened acacia gum. The bark of the branch has been removed in two places exposing the lighter inner wood. The gum is a transparent brown.
Piece of natural beige and pink coloured limestone; irregular shape, many indentations.
An arrow with several components: metal double-barbed point with a bark-covered fore-shaft wrapped with sinew, a short section of hollow reed (joining sleeve) a small shaft of carved wood (link shaft), another short joining sleeve, the main length of hollow reed ending with a notched wooden insert. Each joining sleeve is bound with sinew; the main shaft has two bindings, one strengthening the insert, the other repairing a break. All sinew is glued with a mixture of acacia gum and the melted hoof of a gemsbok. The link shaft and first sleeve are glued together with this mixture, as is the fore-shaft. The second joining sleeve is glued to the main shaft and bound to prevent splitting.
A slender arrow of four lengths of light and dark wood fitted and bound together with sinew in three places. One end is sharpened to a point, with small insert in opening at end opposite.
Two lengths of reed fitted together and bound with sinew in the middle. Sinew is dark brown.
