Tarnished metal spoon converted into a straight pin with a spoon-shaped finial. The shaft of the pin tapers to a thin point. On either side of the neck, thin metal wire has been added to form three small loops on each side of the shaft. The neck of the shaft, just below the bowl of the finial, has been incised with curvilinear lines. The edge of the spoon-shaped finial displays radiating incised lines. The incised design in the bowl of the finial resembles a flower with short, rounded petals. This flower design contains a cross-hatched centre, with small dots in each of the cross-hatched spaces. The top of the flower has been embellished with three leaves.
Silver-coloured metal straight pin with a flat, circular finial. Small circles of coloured glass have been set within the finial. There are five pieces of red glass, six pieces of green glass, and two pieces of blue glass. There are five semi-circular protrusions around the finial with holes holding coloured glass. The hole at the top of the finial is empty. In the centre of the finial, five of the holes are slightly larger than the others and appear to form a cross shape. The surface of the finial, on both sides, has been incised with simple geometric patterns. The neck of the pin has been flattened, and a hole has been drilled into this flat protrusion.
Silver-coloured straight and cylindrical pin with a circular finial created with sixteen ray-like protrusions. The front of the finial contains a piece of cylindrical blue glass(?) that has been set in the centre. Each ray-like protrusion has an incised face composed of eyebrows, eyes, and a mouth. Elongated, abstracted bodies continue down from each face to connect with the blue glass in the middle. Small holes within the metal of the finial (in the shapes of circles, triangles, and larger circles) work to define the bodies of the small figures. The top of the pin, where the shaft meets the finial, contains a raised and incised representation of a plant or fruit. At the back of the finial, the top of the pin shaft has been flattened and shaped into a loop. Through this loop, a think metal wire has been attached and it has been formed into two loops. A long, tarnished metal chain has been attached to these loops on the back of the pin.
A ceramic representation of a man wearing a "crazy cow" costume (vaca loca), and dancing at a local fiesta. The male figure is wearing a dark pink hat with a black stripe, a yellow cape with roses, and purple striped shirt. He is only wearing the costume from the waist down. The costume is light brown and yellow-white, with a cape of dark purple with pink flowers. A curved piece of metal wire has been inserted into the clay to create the appearance of reins around the neck of the cow.
A ceramic representation of a woman spinning cotton. The female figure is holding a wooden stick with a piece of unprocessed wool on the end. She is wearing a light yellow hat with a black band, a yellow cape with vertical dark purple stripes, a light yellow short-sleeved shirt with designs in black and purple, and a purple-brown skirt. She has bare feet and red bands around her wrists. The figure's light brown hair is tied back with a broad band of light yellow with light brown horizontal stripes.
A ceramic representation of a woman from Otavalo, carrying a pot on one shoulder. The woman is wearing a heavy gold necklace with a cross, a short-sleeved light yellow shirt with black patterning at the sleeve edges and neck, a blue-purple skirt with a red belt, and a grey-blue cape with vertical gold stripes. The figure has long black hair. The base of the sculpture is light blue.
Silver-coloured metal pin with disc-shaped finial. The pin tapers from a flat, wide head to a cylindrical, pointed end. The finial of the pin has scalloped edges and set glass pieces on either side. One side has been ornamented with a red, translucent glass circle that has been carved as a flower with six petals. The other side has been ornamented with a green, translucent glass circle, and an incised design of two leaf shapes edged with small circles and straight lines can be seen through the green glass. Incised, tight zigzag lines have been engraved around the set pieces of glass to resemble leaves, and this leaf pattern extends part way down the shaft of the pin.
A ceramic representation of a bullfighter, and the bull itself. The bullfighter is wearing a gold jacket, a tie, a hat, and is holding a red cape. One arm is resting on the back of the bull. The bull is a light yellow, and its tail is black. Fine hairs have been added to the bull's spine, neck, horns, and forehead. The top of the bull's back contains a slot, perhaps for coins. The base of the sculpture is a light grey-brown with dots of gold in a line around the edge.
A dark brown wooden staff with a metal tip and cap, fitted with two metal bands, and a metal figure of Jesus Christ attached to the shaft. The figure has short metal chains attached to his hands, which are tipped with ruby-like gems, or pieces of glass. A metal hook/clasp has also been added to the staff. It is hinged and shaped to rest flush against the cylindrical shaft. Hanging from this hook/clasp is a metal cross that has been inlayed with an emerald-coloured stone in the middle and ruby-coloured stones on the leaf shapes of the arms and base of the cross. The head, or top, of the staff is capped with metal and inset with a dark blue, oblong stone. The rim of the head has been decorated with a fringe of pentagonal, dart-shaped discs that are attached to the staff with small jump rings. The head of the staff has also been incised with three rows of illegible text.
Silver-coloured metal pin with a straight, tapering shaft. A semi-circular protrusion on one side at the neck contains a hole, through which a ribbon or chain could be threaded in order to prevent loss. The finial of the pin is oval-shaped with scalloped edges, and it is incised with a pattern of small circles and lines. Eleven small holes encircle the finial of the pin. There is a stone or piece of glass(?) set on either side of the pin's finial. On one side, there is a rectangular piece of green stone or glass. On the other side, there is an oval piece of dark blue stone or glass.
