This relative, a mkak (also spelled mokuk and makak), is oval-shaped contained made of birchbark with an inset lid. The lid has a leather strap in the centre used as a handle. The box is constructed using two layers of bark. The outer bark layer is wrapped around the inner layer and joined using tabs cut into one end of the bark and fitted into holes on the other end of the bark, creating a decorative seam. There are small metal nails along the bottom edge of the box. The leather strap is affixed to the lid using metal fasteners. The mkak originally held a string of white wampum beads, but that string is not with the container any longer.

This relative currently resides at the Bank of Canada Museum.

Bank of Canada catalogue records were provided to GRASAC.

"Montreal" is identified on the map, but this reflects one place in the container's life, which was a place of purchase. It is not a known place of origin.
