Square embroidered domestic textile, with large naturalistic floral designs stitched with silk floss in many colours on red cotton fabric. There is a large circular floral pattern in the centre and an arrangement of flowers, leaves and stems in each corner of the square. A border of meandering stems, leaves and flowers forms a frame around the outside edges of the square. The background textile was pieced together from narrow strips before the embroidered patterns were worked. The edges are, for the most part, unfinished, although needle marks along some edges indicate that an edging, such as braid or fringe, may once have been in place.
Flat, rectangular, decorative bag, made from two different types of textile. The front of the bag is made from very finely embroidered, multi-coloured textile with patterns that resemble an ikat weaving. The back of the bag is made from a cotton warp face ikat textile with large red and yellow patterning on an off-white background. All four edges of the front of the bag are finished with narrow multi-coloured tablet-woven braids. The sides and bottom edge of the bag are trimmed with dense, long (11 cm), multi-coloured, twisted fringe (red, dark yellow, purple, off-white, brown, green and blue). The opening of the bag is trimmed with four multi-coloured tassels. The front of the bag is lined with a loosely woven, printed, tan cotton textile.
A flat, rectangular bag constructed from very heavy, flat-weave, patterned wool textile and decorated with twisted fringe, tassels and a wide band of braided latticework. The bag is predominantly brown, with several horizontal bands of light yellowish brown geometric motifs, consisting of arrangements of diamonds and triangles. The horizontal bands are trimmed with brown, black and dark orange twisted fringe. The wide decorative latticework band at the bottom of the bag is comprised of thick strands of braided fibre that are interlocked with one another and trimmed with white glass beads. A 4.5 cm wide woven wool shoulder strap is attached to the top of the bag. Its design and weave differ from the textile of the body of the bag.
