Short statuette of a billiken type figure. The figure has high, rounded cheeks, slanted eyes, and tall, pointed ears. There are two small scratches on the crown of his head indicating hair. Two holes have been bored into the chest suggesting nipples. A belly button has been carved and painted black on the figure’s rounded stomach. It has shallowly-carved sides with extremely long arms.

Small, white figurine of a dog. The dog is posed standing on four legs with its tail pointing straight behind it. It has small squared ears and a somewhat long snout. The carved eyes and mouth are black.

Walrus tusk carving of blanket toss game, depicting five figures holding the raised edges of a blanket elevating a female figure. Hair, facial features, dotted edging of coats and rims of shoes are coloured in with black paint. Blanket is oval in shape, with elongated oval hand holds around the outer edging. All figures have their hoods down, save for the female being tossed.

Small carving of a bird. Wings are tucked back and delineated by a carved line around the lower body. The base of the bird is flat. The neck is long and head is small, with a pointed beak and no defined features.

The walrus tusk is engraved with different scenes, each having its own groundline in space. The scenes include: men netting fish or seal and birds flying above; men hunting bear and deer using spears and bows & arrows; large whale with spume coming out of its blowhole along with several fins in the water nearby; a dog sled; two bears wrestling and a man lassoing a bird.

This is a long curved tusk engraved [scrimshaw is a non-Native term for this type of engraving on ivory] with scenes depicting men hunting walrus in boats, scenes of village huts and food preparation. There is a break in it.
