Small carving of a sled dog, with a hide harness. The animal stands with head low and tail extended straight, in a wide stance. The head is squared, with delicately carved ears and painted eyes and mouth. The harness surrounds the dog’s shoulders and neck and trails down the back toward the tail.

The handle is shorter than the blade, with carved finger hollows on one side. The scratches of construction can be seen overall.
Toy, called an ajajaq, made out of what may be petrified wood? The object has a long, thin, rounded neck sitting upon a wider mid-area with a single, thick 'shoulder.'

A long, thin piece of sinew is tied through two of the holes in the centre back of the object and hangs loosely.

Model of a harpoon point. A small triangular metal blade is imbedded in a carved piece of tusk which is forked at its butt end, is cleaved at the top for blade insertion, and has a hole bored through its ventral centre. Through the hole is strung a long thin strip of hide, at the other end of which is attached an oblong wooden buoy.
Pocket knife with antler casing and metal tools. Implements accompanying the large knife blade are a corkscrew, hole punch/scraper, and a small saw. All open out of the sides of the knife. The tools are attached to the antler casing with small metal finishing nails.
