The avian carvings include a shorebird decoy resembling an American Avocet with an upward-curved beak and orange-brown head, a Canvasback-style duck decoy with a reddish-brown head and light gray body, and a Pintail-style duck decoy featuring a patterned gray body and a functional cord with a carved wooden anchor weight. A reversible whale carving is present, finished as an orca with black and white markings on one side and a solid dark brown on the opposite side. Other carvings include a small songbird resembling a Tufted Titmouse and an irregular white carved object. The collection also contains a rectangular wooden plaque with a sand-encrusted surface and embedded seashells, a stack of wooden blocks with painted hearts and an American flag motif, a small white cube with a blue letter I, a yellow block with hand-painted floral motifs, and a section of a natural wood branch. The items are constructed primarily of wood and finished with polychrome paint.
