Irregularly-shaped yellow shell beads alternating with 31 cylindrical, red-purple shell beads on a strand of monofilament. The yellow beads are quite porous and many have red pigment rubbed into the surface cavities. The yellow beads range in length from .7 to 2.0 and the red-purple beads range from .4 to .7cm.
Hollow golden beads of two sizes are regularly alternated with yellow, disc shaped shell beads and red-purple cylindrical shell beads and are strung on synthetic monofilament. There are 20 large and 80 small gold beads as well as 20 purple and 40 yellow shell beads. Most of the gold beads are dented and some have holes or are split at their equatorial join. Some of the shell beads have worm holes. Many of the beads have traces of red pigment in surface irregularities.
Small disc-shaped, red-purple shell beads with a brown stone pendant and six symmetrically spaced golden metal discs are strung on synthetic monofilament. The pendant is approximately bi-conical in shape with a hole drilled through the larger section. The gold discs have eccentrically placed holes and are much larger than the shell beads. The gold surface of the discs is pocked and has green and red deposits.
Light orange shell? pendant cut into the shape of a bird's silhouette with a back swept crest on top of its head and a circular, tongue-like protrusion coming out of its open beak. Its round eye is an inlayed greenish stone or shell. Neck and wing details are incised. There is a hole drilled through the body below the wing.
Metal blade mounted in a wooden handle. Sharpened on both sides, the blade tapers from the hilt to the blunt, slightly twisted point. The handle is roughly cylindrical.
Sinew bowstring lashed and knotted around the tapered ends of a curved wood bow. The shaft of the bow is bound with sinews. The grip is set slightly below the centre of the staff.
A rectangular mother-of-pearl bead with ten closely spaced holes along the entire length. The ends are slightly tapered and rounded.
Smoothly finished, rectangular bone balance with two sets of seven punctuated and recessed circles on both of the wide, flat sides. Traces of red pigment remain on one of the end circles. Each of the short, skinny ends has a hole drilled with fragments of fibre twine in them. One hole is drilled through the width of the bar in the very centre. The two other holes are symmetrically placed at the ends and run obliquely from one narrow edge to the adjacent narrow edge.
Curved bow which is smoothed and tapered at each end. Bound in three places with sinew: at the grip and at the ends. Bowstring of large sinew is lashed around the tips and is held in place by the bindings. The grip is slightly below the centre of the shaft.
Smooth straight cylindrical wooden light tan, and brown branch with a natural knot as a head. Proximal end slightly burned.
