The upper section is painted with a vertical panel featuring a thunderbird at top, a row of paddles(?), an anthropomorphic face, and a four-legged creature underneath. The lower section depicts a whale with a thunderbird perched on top, and a whaling vessel, which is being rained on from under another thunderbird.

The sides and rim are beaded with cherry bark and cedar bark in a repeating flower-like design, alternating between dark red and black with off-white. The rim of the basket is beaded as well. There are five loops of rawhide tied through the sides of the basket, one on each of three sides, two on the fourth side.
Long knife (part a), with a small knife (pisau raut; part b), and scabbard (part c). The knife blade is convex on one side and slightly concave on the other side, and is decorated with inlaid brass in a series of circles and vines. The blade itself gets gradually wider and then tapers in forming a point in line with the cutting edge. The grip is wrapped with finely woven fibre. The hilt of horn is elaborately carved, with red pigment in the lines, and has two drilled holes for an attachment. The whittling knife (part b) has a small curved blade of steel, with a brass cap marked with illegible text. The shaft is of a dark brown wood which transitions into alternating rings of horn and wood. The slightly curved hilt is elaborately carved. The scabbard is composed of a wood sheath for the sword, and an attached bark sheath for the knife. The wood sheath is composed of two pieces of wood, bound together by woven plant fibre and animal skin. The locket(?) is ornately carved. There is a long carrying strap of plaited plant fibre, and an ornament of shell and thin tassels with beads of pink, blue, green, red and yellow.
