FOUR ASSORTED NATIVE AMERICAN BONE CARVED AND DECORATED ARTIFACTS. One of the items is signed by Tuscarora Native American master carver STAN R. HILL (1921-2003) and dated 1981. Four items including a carved hollow tube with geometric carvings cut through the surface. It could be a needle case, a small container, or a decorative charm/handle component. A large, solid spoon with a deep bowl and a thick, worn handle. Two spoons with bowls and long handles featuring deep, sawtooth or zigzag cutouts. Lastly, there is a tube (perhaps a section of a large bone or horn) with a mouthpiece-like opening at the top, wrapped with beads (red and green), and decorated with a dangling feather and what looks like a tuft of fur/leather. This could be a whistle, a ceremonial pipe, a rattle handle, or a dance implement.
