Three sets of Alaska fur-and-hide yo-yos with paired padded ends, leather tabs and colored cords. Two dark-fur sets have pale circular panels with green or red beadwork and braided blue-and-red or red-and-white cords. The white-fur set has red panels, small contrasting beads and loosely bundled red-and-blue cords. The fur appears to be rabbit. The white-fur set has a torn-open seam exposing the stuffing; staff records that it has since been wrapped to contain the damaged section. The other sets show handling wear, uneven fur and worn leather and cords. The largest measures approximately 27 inches in total length.
