Light coloured wood relief carving of Christ's crucifixion. Portrayed are three crosses, a soldier and two women. Etched into the background are a sun, two doves, the number 12 in a circle, and a variety of flowers and grass. The reverse of the plaque has the artist's name and village carved into it, with traces of the words painted in red.
Rectangular wooden board with painted designs. One end has a stem tied into a handle. The other end is tapered with the sides bent upwards. The abstract designs have concentric circles and other shapes in yellow, orange and white on brown ground. The back is unpainted.
The canoe (part a) is carved from one piece of wood in the shape of a crocodile. At the stern a crocodile is climbing out of the water and snatching a baby. Inside the canoe is a family fishing, with their dog. At the bow of the flat-bottomed dugout canoe is a carved crocodile head, with white decoration running along the sides and purple fibre tassels. Inside lies a black and white dog, then behind him an older male with a beard holding a paddle (part b), then a younger male. The female figure is next, with a yellow grass skirt, holding another paddle (part c) and is falling back away from the yellow and brown crocodile. The crocodile holds the pink baby between its many sharp teeth.
Circular, brown with streaks of black wood story board. Depicted in 3 dimensional relief, which is carved deeply into the wood in a wheel-like lay-out with hub and surrounding frieze, is the story of head eating birds and a village's attempt to fight them with dogs, clubs and spears. A decorative border of ovals and lines encircles the top of the board; sides and back are plain.
