Mottled brown bark (part a), hollowed out and capped with dark brown hide, glued onto bottom end as a closure, and encircling open top. Stopper with hide acts as a lid (part b). Sinew of various shades of brown are bound in places around the length of the quiver securing to it a rawhide thong near both ends.
Knife (b) and sheath (a). The knife has a dark brown bone handle that fades to off-white where it joins the blade. The blade is sharpened on both sides and tapers to point. The sheath is laced together with sinew and has a loop at the top formed by a folded piece of leather.

Two arrows (parts c and d). While both arrows have a metal point tip and base with fibre ? or sinew ? wrapped around both ends and their shafts are notched at the end, one arrow (part d) has a smaller base with less material wrapped below it than the other arrow (part c). One arrow (part d) has some yellow plant leaf-like fibre attached at the base of the point.

A white ostrich egg bead belt, thirteen beads wide, covers the top. Six strands of beads protrude over the opening. Belt (part b) is sewn to a piece of hide and is attached to the underside of the shell by being drawn through two drilled holes.
