A silver ring with a plain band that divides at the front to create a "V" shape on either side. The divided band on the front supports a square, red piece of glass or gem on either side, and this piece of glass (or gem) is bordered with twelve small silver balls. There is faint evidence of several incised, decorative lines that were engraved near the "v" sections of the band. An Ecuadorian five-cent coin from 1937 was added to the ring, supported by three small metal rings over the gem. The text on the coin reads: "Republica Del Ecuador 1937, 5 Centavos".
A straight pin made from gold-coloured metal and two pieces of transparent, white-grey glass(?). There is an oval-shaped finial in the middle with a hollow centre, and there is a piece of glass(?) on each side of the finial. Between the glass is a partial oval of thin metal with an irregular-shaped piece missing, allowing partial view through the centre. One of the glass(?) pieces is broken and the top half is missing. The neck of the finial shaft protrudes on one side and has a circular hole in the centre of the protrusion. A zigzag pattern of incised lines radiates from the centre of the finial to the edge of the finial. This pattern continues across the neck and part of the way down the shaft.
An oblong, multi-coloured, tightly woven basket bag with four braided straps that have been tied together at the ends. The base colour of the bag is the yellow-white of the undyed cabuya fibre. The bag has been decorated with a rectangular checkerboard pattern. The checkerboard pattern has been woven with the colours purple, blue-black, yellow, pink, green, dark orange, and grey. These coloured rectangles alternate with rectangles of yellow-white undyed cabuya. The edge of the bag, at the opening, is decorated with yellow and purple stripes. The bottom of the bag contains a circle composed of pink and blue-black stripes. The straps are composed of undyed cabuya strands, as well as green and grey strands.
This poncho consists of two large rectangles of machine-processed, black felted wool that have been sewn together with black thread along one edge, with a gap left for the neck. There is a multi-coloured, embroidered stripe that runs along the edge of the neck, shoulders, and bottom of the poncho. This embroidered stripe has been created with very even, tight stitching, which suggests that it was created with a sewing machine. The bottom edge displays an interlocking diamond pattern in white that is bordered with lines of plain stitching. This is followed by single, parallel lines of red stitching, green stitching, and yellow stitching. The neck opening and the shoulders are embroidered with a similar pattern that consists of plain yellow/green/red lines, followed by interlocking white diamonds, and completed with plain red/green/yellow lines.

The neck opening has been woven with red cotton ribbon. The outer edges of the poncho have a short green fringe.
The shawl has been woven with an abstract design in black and yellow-white cotton yarn. There is a broad black band on either end of the shawl, and within these bands are vertical rows of stylized bird figures (twenty-six in each band). Both ends have been finished in a fringe of fine knotting, and there are outlines of images arranged horizontally within this knotting. These horizontal rows of images consist of: four leaf designs, three duck figures, and four leaf designs. One side of the shawl is noticeably faded, and there are traces of blue/indigo dye in some of the yellow-white woven areas.
The belt is divided into three horizontal, colour-based bands. The outer edges are dark red, the centre stripe is red and green, and the other bands are yellow and black. The design on the belt consists of bars alternating with geometric motifs. The colours are reversed on the back of the belt. There is a fringe on one end of the belt.

The straps are vibrant in colour and consist of braided strands of pink, orange, yellow, purple, and the undyed yellow-white of the cabuya.
