Wood and bone knife and sheath. The tanged iron blade is set in a bone hilt ending in the carved figure of a buffalo. A six-pointed motif and four raised
rings ornament the hilt lower down and are echoed on the bone-fronted sheath which has a wooden back and rawhide carrying loop. A plaited band of black hair secures the bottom of the sheath.
