Pair of beaded hide wrist bands. The top of each is completely covered in beads, with a blue ground. Round red flowers on stems with green leaves decorate each end, one with a tassel of red, black and translucent beads hanging from the foliage, the other with leather thongs. Three flags on poles sit at the centre in red, white and blue. The underside of the bands are undecorated, but show the intricate stitching. They tie together with hide thongs.

Pair of large hide gauntlet cuffs, covered on the exterior by glass bead designs: on a blue background is a bouquet of flowers--orange and white in the centre, red and gold to the side, and white, green and orange at bottom; their stems are embedded in colourful foliage in green, gold, pink, yellow and blue. Matching decorative motifs are at the top corners. The cuffs open to one side and tie with a series of thin leather thongs. The interior is lined in red fabric.

Pair of beaded hide gloves, or gauntlets. A fringe falls from either side of each gauntlet. A large red flower is beaded onto the top of the hand, with green leaves and small round blue flowers to the bottom. All are surrounded by a white bead border. Glove top has matching beaded flowers and foliage in red, shades of blue, yellow and green, also surrounded by a white border. The underside is decorated by stitching in concentric rectangles.

Long, oval cedar basket. Walls of basket angle very slightly outward from base to rim, where a row of twisted cedar lines the mouth. Two long flexible handles of wrapped cedar cross the basket and are attached to its long sides with leather thongs. Decoration is a wide encircling stepped line, in imbricated red and black bark.

Rectangular woven basket in a tight, square weave. Base is a small rectangle, slightly curved walls flaring out toward the wide mouth. The exterior is two-toned, colours indicating a change in weave, dark brown on the bottom and light brown on top. Decoration is black and red bark imbrication in thin vertical patterns, three to a side. Interior weave is unchanged throughout. A rounded handle spans the interior, connecting to rim with pieces of hide; one side is now detached.
