A smooth grey-green and brown stone that has an oblong rectangular shape with both sides slightly curving convexly, although one side is rougher while the other side is smoother and tapering at an angle, creating an edge at one end which is more flared than the other end.
A headband of several layers of beaten bark, on the outer surface of which, there have been sewn six parallel rows of white nassa shells on the longitudinal axis of the band covering it. The shells overlap slightly and face the centre of the band. At the centre, there is a transverse strip of bark 1.5 cm. wide on which there are no shells, but which is coated with red paint. The band is an elongated oval in shape. Fragments of bark twine remain tied to ends . Shells near ends of band are smaller and more yellow.
A hornbill beak, predominantly light yellow with a little dark brown and red. There are five heavy ridges on the top surface where it joins the bird's head.
A bamboo section of a pipe with two segments. The top segment has been perforated to allow passage of smoke to the mouthpiece, which is simply an upper cut end of bamboo section, where 15 cm. from the bottom of the pipe, there is a hole 1.5 cm. in diameter, blackened by smoke, apparently for insertion of tobacco.
A smooth black stone that has an oblong rectangular shape with both sides slightly curving convexly and tapering at an angle, creating an edge at one end which is more flared than the other more rounded pointed end.

A very long band of natural-coloured braided bark to which are attached cowrie shells arranged contiguously, each approximately 2 cm. long. Attached with bark cord, which has been threaded through the ends of each, there are two adjacent shells, which are then tied to the band. Contains 342 cowrie shells.
A band of two circles crossed twice, creating four lengths, woven in a natural light brown bark fibre. On all edges of the band, there are horizontal rows of white beads (including one orange and two red beads). Partially coated with a white substance.
A pair (parts a-b) of earrings consisting of an end section of snail (conus?) shell. Shaped like a 'c' with a small opening (.5 cm.). Convex side is smooth while concave side has natural concentric grooves. One earring (part a) is more yellow in colour, slightly narrower, and less regular in shape while the other earring (part b) is white.
A container made from a dark brown gourd shaped like a sphere, from which the top one-third has been cut away. A hole is bored near the rim for insertion of a cord of braided root(?) 21.5 cm. long. The main design consists of an incised band around the rim consisting of a single line with a herringbone pattern.
