Elephant tusk. The tusk is curved, with a smooth, shiny surface. The colour gradates from a light yellow-white at the top open edge to a light brown near the tip. It is hollow and smooth on the inside, with thin walls and a wide opening at top that thickens and narrow toward the tip.
Implement with a long wooden handle holding a long, narrow, metal blade. The handle is slightly flared at the bottom and clubbed at the top. Through a hole in the clubbed portion, the metal blade has been inserted at a downward angle. It tapers to a sharp flair at the working end, and a cylinder of metal has been attached at the other to prevent the piece from slipping through the hole in the wood. A ring has been inserted into the flared end of the handle.
Large carved yellow wood spoon with a handle split into two branches that cross just above spoon and near top end, leaving an oval space between. The ends of the wood at the bottom crossing are blackened.
Small round basketry-covered gourd container with round opening and a thin twined string handle.
Thin, elongated, blackened figure wearing a stack of brass neck rings. The bent arms are close to the body and there is a hole through the raised hands. The small square base is made from a different type of wood.
Fringed camel bag with deep side pockets. Hemp-like fibres in shades of orange, red, brown, green and blue are woven into thick stripes and triangles outlined in white. Along the sides and tops of the pockets is a border made of orange strands, looped around multicoloured rag filler. Bundles of twined strands hang from the top, middle and bottom of pockets.
Unworked gourd with bumpy surface has one globular end and the other end long and narrow like a handle. Dried seeds inside the gourd rattle when shaken.
A deep coiled circular basket (part a) with a lid (part b). The main design consists of alternating vertical bands of purple, red, natural, and black colours. The lid (part b) is conical with a straight inner rim which fits into the basket.
Conical basket with a main design that consists of two horizontal rows of downward pointing, light yellow-brown triangles edged with dark brown on a brown background. The triangles alternate in such a way that the downward points of the larger, upper row of triangles connect to the upper corners of the lower, smaller row of triangles. The inside of the basket reflects the same pattern from the outside but has the appearance of four brown petals with a larger brown petal above in between. The rim alternates between dark brown and light yellow-brown.
A basket (part b) and a lid (part a). The basket has four panels alternating between a thin diamond-shaped design in red, peach, and purple on a natural background and a thin dimaond-shaped design in purple and natural on a red background. The rows above have a purple checkered pattern and natural diamond-shaped pattern on red and purple background. The lid has rows in similar designs to that of the rows above on the basket.
