This birch bark cigar case is decorated with human forms with hats, some carrying pipes and bottles, and one individual holding a white candle with a flame on the first side. Accompanying this is a dark-bodied bird with a white head and stomach. On the other side, two red birds are situated in a tree with what seems to be red fruit or flowers. A dog with a curled tail is looking at the birds, and plant imagery surrounds them. This cigar case is bound and decorated with a row of quillwork sewn to the top, and contains a birch-bark lining. This ancestor dates to pre-1852, as presented on inscriptions on the inside of the pouch that state the date to May 1, 1858, however, this does not confirm the date of the item.
