On the left is a Head Ornament made of a series of plaited strands with a quill wrapped tube containing feathers on the front, this ornament is tied around the head.

Second from left is a Roach that is worn as a scalp lock decoration. Below it's base is a panel of netted quill work, one of the most difficult quill techniques known. Eric Elias made that portion, another emerging artist.

Above right is another hair ornament made of glass wampum, it too is tied as a decoration on one's scalp lock.

Below middle is a drawstring bag of Eli's own design. Besides the quillwork , he has glass wampum and some painted decoration.

Far right is a quilled and painted Moccasin of Eli's design.
