Opera headdress representing an official's hat with imitation kingfisher feather consisting of bright blue silk. The main part of the headdress (a) consists of two pieces of silver painted wire mesh joined together with bird and cloud designs in blue silk and metallic edging: the front piece is domed with a loop at the top centre; the back piece is also domed but protrudes slightly at the top and has a band of silver painted paper with a raised geometric design at the back and has three sockets, two at the sides and one at the back, that hold the four attachments. Two straps extend down from the sides of the headdress. There are two elongated ovoid-shaped extensions (b and c), each with a circular Chinese design element at the centre and scalloped designs at the ends in bright blue silk, wire mesh, metallic edging, and a short rod that fits into the socket at the back of the headdress. Two side extensions (d and e) fit into the slots in the sides of the main part, and each is composed of an elongated dragon's (?) body from which protrudes a dragon's (?) head with two bright blue pompoms extending out from the head, each on a wire spring.

Hat made of polished black cotton fibre (?) with two small rounded flaps at the sides with a pink synthetic fibre (?) edging, a silk fibre (?) ribbon border around the bottom edge of the hat with bands of blue, green and pink and white geometric patterns, and an overall domed shape. At the front edge of the hat is a row of metal domed ornaments with a shorter row of metal figures in relief, three of which have protruding three-lobed headdresses. There are five metal medallions with floral motifs and toothed edges. Three of the medallions have bells and other ornaments attached with chain, and one has two flower-like metal protrusions with green and pink fibre at the centre and a butterfly-like metal protrusion. There is a pink fabric pompom at the peak of the hat.

Pair of Cantonese opera shoes with leather soles and pink silk uppers. On the sides are three circles of coiled wire with domed brass ornaments at the centre, four domed brass ornaments, and on a fabric flap on the heel. On the pointed tongue is one domed brass ornament, an orange and green pompom and a blue pompom. On the toe is attached a grey silk (?) thread tassel. Just above the sole is a layer of blue fabric. Cotton lining and insole. Purple fabric edging.

The off-white cotton cuffs each have an off-white cotton rectangle at the front with a loop attached on either side near the top on part a, and two loops at the top on part b.
