Collier, hochet et coiffe
Jack Lowrey porte aussi ce collier et cette coiffe. Le hochet est d’origine nehiyawak (crie). Les dommages considérables que l’on peut observer aujourd’hui sur certains de ces objets sont probablement attribuables à la négligence, puisqu’on les considérait a l’époque comme de simples accessoires de déguisement.
