Complete flute, finished at both ends, though there is a small fragment missing from the distal end. There are three perforations. Two diagonal striations near the proximal end. There are a few cracks between the finger holes and around the broken end.

Complete flute. There is residue from an unknown material on the surface. There are four perorations, one on the side of the proximal end and three along the top. There is a large crack running from the distal end to the middle.

Complete flute. There are four perforations, one at the proximal end, and three along the top. There is a large crack filled with adhesive along the bottom of the flute.

Complete flute. Both ends are smoothed. There are four perforations, three along the middle and one near the proximal end. The majority of the darkened striations are in a cross-hatched pattern, however there are three striations that wrap around the koauau between the first and second perforations. There is a crack that runs almost the length of the flute, but is only split from the distal end to halfway.

Complete bone flute. There is a visible repair where previously broken. There are three perforations along the top, and one perforation at the end. There are three drill marks along the side.

Complete flute, with a single perforation at one end. There are a few surface cracks running longitudinally.

Broken flute, proximal end remaining. There is a perforation at the end, and two down the middle. There are darkened striations starting near the fingerholes and fanning outward towards the lower edge. There are multiple longitudinal cracks. There is a white substance in the outer areas of the bore, possibly an old repair attempt.

Complete flute, small. There are seven perforations, six along the top, and one at the end. Striations in a chevron pattern on one side, and short diagonal striations on the opposite side.

Mostly complete flute, the distal end is missing a fragment. There is a visible repair at this end where a fragment has been reattached. There is a perforation at the proximal end, and three perforations along the top. There are darkened striations in a cross-hatching pattern at the distal end. There are several longitudinal surface cracks.

Complete flute. There are three perforations along the top, and one broken perforation at the end. There are multiple longitudinal cracks.

Mostly complete flute, finished at both ends, but small fragments missing from either end. In a bag tied to the object there is small fragment that has chipped off. There are multiple repairs. There are criss-crossed striations across the surface. One side of the flute is darkened. There are three perforations along the top, two broken perforations at one end.

Broken flute, proximal end remaining. The remaining end is partially finished, but also chipped. There are three perforations. There are a few diagonal striations, that are darkened.
