Thousands of small beads threaded onto ten separate strands (parts a-j). Beads include several discs that are white, clear, and terracotta in colour. There are two elongated beige beads, and a few white balls, however, most are steatite or shell in a mixture of dark grey, light grey, black, white, and brown colours, and similar in shape. The beads have been threaded onto loops of black fishing line, making ten strands of similar size, probably holding about three hundred beads each.

Carved stone pipe in the form of a crouching feline, probably a panther to judge from the markings along the sides of its body. Panthers were prevalent throughout the North American eastern woodlands prior to the spread of European settlements. The bowl of the pipe is in the center of the animal's back. The artist has captured in remarkable detail its fierce and sensuous qualities: the curved tail, the snarling mouth, and the dewclaws and pads of the feet on the underside. Condition: Excellent, one leg has been broken and repaired.

The Cupisnique people produced carved stone bowls embellished with complex mythological beings. The figure on this vessel represents a spider with two human arms and legs, and eight radiating trophy heads. It holds a knife in one hand and a decapitated head in the other. A snake emerges from a Strombus shell in the genital area.

The trophy heads allude to the figure’s supernatural powers. The spider may be associated with fertility rituals and stories of human sacrifice.

Wings rendered in high relief, legs tucked under belly but turned the wrong way (forward) compared to a normal bird who would curl his feet backwards .Round eyes and raptor-like beak. Other examples of this pipe: two dogs found in Copena but rare to find them associated with Copena overall as most found in Middle Tennessee and Middle Kentucky.

The Sioux gun stock club (bottom in photograph) is made of red pipestone too brittle to use for battle. It may have been used in ceremonies since the lead inlays represent potent images; the sun, a bison, a deer, a thunderbird, hearts and arrows. Alternatively, it may have been made for sale. The reverse side at one time also had lead inlays and shows markings that may be more related to astrological signs, half moons, stars and crossed diamonds.

This pipe is a double wolf motif. The pipe stem itself is an elongated wolf ending in a wolf's head while a second wolf stands facing the opposite direction on the opposite side of the pipe bowl. Researcher Richard Sisson 4/23/2013 reviewed. Thought it might be Cherokee. To be researched before changing attribution.
