Women’s outer coat, or parka, of caribou fur with a large elongated hood. The coat has a thin rectangular front flap and a large rectangular back flap. The coat is waist length and has broad angular shoulders. The back of the coat is slightly enlarged through the insertion of a piece of fur. On the front, two white angular chest panels are inserted. The hood, hem and front of sleeves are trimmed with white fur. The form of the backtail and front of the coat are repeated through inserts of small bands of white fur. Bands of white fur are also inserted in the lower part of the front of the sleeves and across the hood. Two elongated triangular pieces of white fur are inserted on the top part of the back of the coat. On either side of these a caribou ear with white fur tassels is attached. Paired fringes are attached to the sides of the hood and along the hem. A narrow tape of fabric is sewn to the inside of the hem.

Pair of women’s inner leggings (part a-b) of caribou skin with the fur on the inside. The leggings have a close fit for the foot and ankle and expand like a funnel reaching above the knee at the back of the leg and tapering up on the front to form a loop that can be attached to the trousers belt. A narrow tape of depilated skin is sewn along the edge on the skin side.

A lightly coloured oblong piece with the centre carved out and a 10 by 0.2 cm slit through which the eyes can see. The middle of the sides are carved out for the piece to fit around the nose. There are two holes at either ends for the string which goes around the head.
Pair of mittens made of caribou skin with thick fur. Each mitten is made of four pieces of skin. One piece forms the back of the mitten, a second piece forms the top of the palm and inside of the thumb. The third piece forms the base of the palm and other side of the thumb. Another piece is attached as cuffs around the wrists. Each mitten has a strip of white caribou fur attached to the wrist; these in turn are tied to each other. The pieces that form the cuffs are attached with the skin to the outside and folded so that the fur shows on the outside as well. The cuffs are not very long, just covering the wrists. The hair on the inside of the right hand thumb (part a) is removed. A black cord is attached to the cuff of the left hand mitten.
