Image Missing: Hearst Museum object titled Bow, accession number 2-6373, described as Wood. Joint or break repaired with nail, cotton cordage and glue. Single sinew cable backing, lashed to bow with braided sinew. Carved; painted red, with median groove on whole length of back side; bow was sawed 48 cm from one end (probably to carry it easier after acquisition) and nailed together again and wrapped with white cotton string; bow string missing. Yup'ik name: urluveq.

Image Missing: Hearst Museum object titled Harpoon, accession number 2-5837, described as Feathered harpoon; small bone (baculum) point barbed on both sides; attached to Y-shaped leather thong; socket made of antler (caribou) which is too light for the purpose, inspite of a piece of iron (a screw, 4 cm L.) inserted on its side. Native name: nagiiquyaq.

Image Missing: Hearst Museum object titled Spear, accession number 2-6407, described as One point, barbed. Sinew and cotton cord attached. Wood, carved; painted red, at proximal end black; quill remains of two feathers; remains of strong twisted sinew lashing; hole in distal ends contains large antler dart point, cotton string "harpoon line;" point originally belonged to large dart (1.8-2.2 m long). This pastiche was probably prepared for an unknowledgeable curio hunter; its heterogeneous parts present the highest standard of the craftsmanship and technology.
