Intricately carved wooden spear thrower, or atlatl, with two finger holes at proximal end. A portion of the distal end is missing. The dorsal surface is incised with lines that function as a spear groove. Central form is a feather-crested lightning snake on a human figure, on the ventral surface as a weight. The figures have white inlaid eyes. The eye material appears to be bone, covered with a resin coating? The carved figure culminates in an unusual bifurcated tail. Inlaid eye is missing from right side of the human face.
Brown wood double whistle that is oval in cross section and comes to a tapering end and is bound in three sections with white twine, two near each end and one near the middle.

Underneath one taper cut hole, the number '6' is carved. The letters 'AN' are carved around the wider end. Sealed with spruce resin.
Short, flat, dark brown wood bow in cross-section: flat on one side and convex on the other side. Slightly curved at the ends with diamond-shaped tips to form notches for the bowstring. One burned stripe on either end (presumably as a result of heating to make a curve).
