Brown and off-white woven textile with interlocking birds, hooks and triangles arranged in diagonal rows. Textile is rectangular with one weft selvedge edge and three cut edges. Z-spun, 2 plied s yarns.
Fragment of painted, plain weave cotton. The major motif is a frontal human with crescent shaped headdress. This figure is repeated in diagonally arranged squares. Adjacent diagonally stepped registers contain zigzags. A secondary motif of repeating profile birds occurs in a wide diagonal register between registers with zigzags. The original colours appear to have been red, blue and several shades of brown.
A rectangular, striped fabric with fringes. Lengthwise stripes in deep, strong shades of red-brown, off white, dark yellow and black. The colours alternate quite regularly but the width of the stripes vary. Cross-wise white borders are joined to the main body by a scaffold cord, not sewn. Two rows of countered weft twining with bunches of dark yellow and black threads secure the woven borders and stabilize the warp fringe; totally made of camelid (alpaca ?) yarns. Z spun, two plied s yarns.
A rectangular fragment of plain weave double cloth in two natural shades of brown cotton. Overall oblique lattice with staff-holding, winged figures in each interstice. Figure wears a pointed hat with several down-turned attachments and is surrounded by three birds or fish. Border, parallel to warp selvedge, has hooks with zoomorphic heads. One weft selvedge with sewing remnants is attached to a small bit of an adjacent panel.
Two rectangular textile fragments of yellow and white slit tapestry with design bands separated by horizontal stripes (part a and b). The major design band, which appears on both fragments, is a series of chevrons with avian-feline(?) composites, triangles and interlocking spirals in adjacent chevrons. Part a, the larger fragment, also has a band of profile birds and another of interlocking spirals. A separately woven fringe is sewn to the warp selvedge. Fragments of blue sewing thread remain on the single weft selvedge.
A small, intact rectangle of brown fabric with four selvedges. Standing birds are repeated along diagonals, alternating and interlocking with similar birds on adjacent diagonals. 4 colours of supplementary warp and weft floats (white, blue, red and brown), define the figures against the brown, plain-woven background. The cloth is loosely woven and shows no signs of having been sewn to another fabric. Z-spun, s plied yarns.
Two irregular cotton fragments, with negative designs in medium brown on a light brown background. Part a, the larger of the fragments, has at least six different rectangular designs repeat in oblique rows: two faces with coronas, two bird designs, one interlocked serpent and one triangulated design that appears to incorporate the bird tail. The rectangles are divided by longitudinal bands with variations of step-frets and serpent related imagery. The short transverse bands have a similar array of motifs that also repeat obliquely. A small segment of weft selvedge remains and is paralleled by a border of step-frets. Part b is of the same cloth as part a, but has another bird design and another face. Z-spun, two-ply yarn.
Two cut fragments (part a and b) of brown cotton weave of approximately the same size. Each rectangular piece has two brocaded composite motifs with bird, serpentine and humanoid characteristics. One edge on each piece has a tubular woven border with fish motifs.
Skirt, woman's, in a two-tiered style with wide pleats at the waist. A band of off-white cotton at the top closes at the side with a drawstring. The rest of the skirt is sewn from commercially woven wool with a piled finish on the outside. A thin band of polished cotton machine embroidered with yellow and red undulating lines sits above a thicker band of the same material at the hem that is machine embroidered with a blue, white, green, and yellow abrstract pattern.
