The front has three dimensional carving, starting at the top: two hooks facing each other, elongated human face with shell inlay eyes, three carved projections, one hook facing up. The base of the hook is carved in relief with a stylized geometric design. In the cuts is a white pigment.

Basket hook with a shaft formed by a male figure carved in profile with an extended nose and mouth that down to his belly, and his hands hold the nose. A cord is attached for hanging through a hole at the top of the figure's head. The hook is double-sided.
A wood horizontal element stained dark brown and carved on the ends and on the underside in the form of a double-headed reptile with bird-like heads lying on the back of the necks. Ridges on the underside are interrupted near one set of legs. Legs are of light brown wood cut and wrapped around the horizontal, then bound with fibre to form two a-shapes.
Unevenly round, deep wood bowl with a band of geometric design incised near the rim. From two holes set close together protrude remnants of vegetable fibres. Worn and faded black pigment on the outer surface.

An ornament of three woven strips hanging from a wood crosspiece. Pendants at the bottom of the strips and a strap at the top are also woven while the two prongs above the wood rod are rattan. All borders are edged with small cowrie shells and two larger white cowrie shells tip the rod ends. The material is dyed purple and green on the front. The back is a natural brown.
Rigid semicircular necklace made from an extended row of teeth protruding from a thick band of rattan. Fifty-two pig's teeth are woven into a semi-circle of a double layer of rattan. Fine string winds around the teeth to keep them in place and is tied to a thicker string which crosses the open back of the semi-circle.
A band of brown string wound over wood, tapering to two arms with loops, one fitted through the other. The top feathers are red, green, yellow, white, blue, and grey and decorate the wide part. Cowrie shells line the lower edge. Below, on strings, there are hanging two lines of small cowries, two single cowrie shells and two fragments of other shells.
