Irregular, openwork piece of light orange cotton with designs of frontal human figures repeated in horizontal rows. In adjacent rows, the figures are in alternate alignment to allow closing spacing. The figures are shown with headdress and tunic with arms outspread. The background mesh is constructed on spaced, paired warps in a combination of weaving and knotting. The figures are embroidered in two thicknesses of cotton threads. Parts of one warp and weft are present.
A complete sheer head cloth constructed from two loom widths. Zigzag lines in alternating dense and open fabric cover the entire head cloth. Woven in a complex gauze weave on fine, tightly spun, white cotton yarns. The crepe-like texture of the head cloth results from the tightly spun, single ply yarns.
Complete loom width of dark yellow, weft-faced weaving with tapestry borders of interlocking spirals in red and dark yellow. Tapestry bands with feather motifs in red and two shades of yellow are sewn to both ends, next to the spirals. Fragments of seaming thread indicate the piece was folded transversely, and seamed together.
One complete panel of tie-dyed 'patchwork' tunic. Step triangles, dyed in red, green, and three shades of blue are arranged in radially symmetrical patterns. All colours have resist-dyed designs of small and large circles and bars. The colours line up in diagonal rows. Warp and weft selvedges are almost intact.
Long narrow band of red-brown bast fibre. Braided areas alternate with tapestry woven step blocks and step frets in red, green and yellow alpaca yarns. The dark outlining of the tapestry designs is almost completely deteriorated. The braided areas are three part. Part a is the large braided band, part b is a brown braided fragment, and c is a smaller brown braided fragment. The band is broken and very fragile.
Cut-out, repousse, gilded square metal plaque with eight equidistant holes at edges. Same motif repeated on both halves: two heads, one up and one down, with plumes and one paw surrounded by bands with fluted edges and repousse dots at centre of bands. Textile pseudomorphs and remains at two holes, these appear to be due to original hanging cords. Reverse side has a slightly duller metallic surface.
Cut-out, repousse, gilded square metal plaque with eight equidistant holes at edges. Same motif repeated on both halves: two heads, one up and one down, with plumes and one paw surrounded by bands with zig-zagged edges and rows of repousse dots at centre of bands.
Gilded repousse sheet metal plaque with six holes (three along each of the two longest edges). Two thirds of the plaque has a repousse stepped design at the edges with three circles running lengthwise down the centre. The remaining third has two circular bumps at the centre with diagonal lines to the sides and a long, oval shaped bump at the centre. Interior is also gilded with some brown metal showing through in a textile pseudomorph pattern.
Rectangular gilded sheet metal strip with series of six cut out step design elements joined at points by a band.
Gilded sheet metal strip with cut out step design along top. Flat along bottom and right side; at right bottom is a small hole. Heavy green deposit, gilding shows through where flaked other side, some red and white deposit and textile pseudomorph.
