Shirt of natural white wool with slash neck, stand-up collar and long, straight sleeves. The collar is embroidered at the front outside with slashes of bright coloured yarn and outlined with a red band. The front bottom of the shirt is shorter than the back. The fabric is thick and somewhat felted with some black wool woven in along the back bottom edge.
Belt with a pattern formed by a series of graduated hues ranging from light to dark and including the entire colour spectrum. Two separate colour series alternate in blocks. A single chevron band in orange, green, grey and white runs lengthwise along the centre of the belt. One end is finished with a fringe of 28 braids. Attached to both ends by red cords are narrow bands with a repeating pattern similar to the main belt.
Rectangular wooden frame loom with a partially woven dark and light brown wool textile stretched lengthwise. The frame is constructed of four pieces of round, peeled wood. Carved pegs on the ends of side pieces fit into slots on the end pieces, securing the corners. Two corners, where the wood has split, are reinforced with cord lashings. The thick, stiff wool fabric stripes extend from both ends of the frame toward the middle and a skein of weft is attached to the last point woven. Approximately one half of the dark brown warp is unwoven. The warp is secured to the interior of the frame by separate lashing cords at each end.
A felted beige hat with a large crown and small flat brim. White commercial cloth used as a headband and an edging which is stitched to the brim. The felt is thick and rigid and the surface is smooth.
Green painted, boat-shaped, wooden shuttle with solid end points and hollowed out central area. Notches at the ends of the hollowed out area support a metal rod which holds the wooden bobbin on which white yarn is wound. The yarn is fed to the outside of the shuttle through a single slot positioned in the centre of one side. The shuttle is crudely carved and the green paint is worn off in some sections. One chip along the upper edge.
Wool sling consisting of an orange, purple, green, yellow and red braid with five tassels spaced along the length and a centrally positioned pouch. The pouch is composed of four woven strips which have a stitched netting between them. One end has a braided finger loop.
Wide red belt with white figurative and geometric motifs is sewn at one end to a stiff, thick belt cross-striped in light and dark shades of natural wool. The non-sewn end of the red belt terminates in 36 braids which are grouped together by a cord knotted to a very narrow woven tie with geometric patterns. Another doubled cord is attached to the non-sewn end of the stiff belt. The red belt has five lengthwise design bands. In the centre, the widest band has naturalistic images of horses, cows, birds and a house alternating with more geometric motifs, principally a six-part circle. Narrow bands flanking the central stripe repeat an eye shape on both sides of zigzag. Pattern bands near the edges have many small motifs, mostly geometric.
Belt with three bands of geometric and figurative motifs in off-white, dark red and green on a red ground. Motifs of birds, a cow, a house and geometric figures decorate the central band. Sewn at one end to a stiff thick belt irregularly cross-striped in light and dark shades of natural wool. The opposite end of the red belt is finished with 18 braids which are grouped together by a cord knotted to a very narrow woven tie with geometric patterns. A similar cord and tie is attached to the non-sewn end of the stiff belt section.

The throat of the pin is decorated with reverse curve strips of metal soldered to each side. Twine joins the pins together and is attached through one loop of the reverse curve.
