| Description | Carved bone tubes (cassowary bone?) A-C are similar in design with both ends coming to a point. Carving designs are in full relief. May have been carved from a different kind of bone. The design is more simple than the other three. Their use is not known. Although the exterior shows wear the interior does not so they could not have been used as toggles. |
