Set of seven game pieces (parts a-g) made from beaver teeth. The teeth have a natural colour of pink and cream. They are semi-circular in shape and are decorated with series of incised lines and circles. Each piece differs in decoration. Some of the teeth have a fibrous material on the inside. One has black fibre twine wrapped on the outside, another has a small piece of red fabric.
