Woman’s dark red and black, tie-dyed, cotton veil; decorated with off-white tie-dyed dots that form geometric, linear and curvilinear patterns. In the centre is a round black medallion within a square, dark red panel; there are black borders on all four sides. The veil is constructed from two nearly-identical sections that are seamed together down the centre with machine stitching.

Rectangular, tie-dyed, dark red and black goat wool textile, decorated with off-white tie-dyed dots. The red central field has a large black circle in the centre and four smaller black circles. There are diamond-shaped clusters of white tie-dyed dots scattered throughout. There are black borders on all sides, embellished with rows of red and white linear and curvilinear designs formed by tie-dyed dots. The textile is constructed from two nearly-identical panels that are seamed together vertically down the centre, using a running stitch sewn with white thread. Woven gray-beige selvages are on the vertical edges, and there are woven cotton horizontal supplemental stripes at each end. A strip of black woven cotton textile (7.1 cm wide) is sewn at one end.

Man or woman’s rectangular, block-printed shawl, with black geometric patterns on an off-white background. Borders at each end contain circular and striped geometric motifs. A centre rectangular panel contains repeated diamond-shaped, stylized floral patterns. Several border patterns frame the central panel on the sides.

Man’s wedding shawl. Made of red and black block-printed cotton textile, heavily embroidered on all four corners with multi-coloured floral designs, abstract representations of peacocks, geometric patterns, mirrors, rickrack and beaded tassels. The designs on the four corners are worked in silk thread and are almost identical to each other, differing only in minor details and colours. Embroidered yellow stripes extend vertically and horizontally across the shawl and intersect at the centre with an embroidered diamond shaped medallion. The block printed designs on the textile form striped borders at each edge, and there is a central rectangle which contains stylized floral patterns arranged in diamond-shaped frames. The block-printed textile is pieced along one long edge (machine stitched) prior to embroidering. The back has a strip of black cotton fabric hand-sewn to each end.

Diamond-shaped, decorative hood for a horse, densely embellished with embroidery that the black cotton background textile is all but obscured. The embroidered design is laid out on a grid of squares, with alternating mirrors and floral motifs in the cells of the grid; pompoms and glass beads are scattered through the design field. Two large, circular openings near the top of the piece are bordered with rows of mirrors alternating with circular embroidered motifs. There is a similar border of mirrors and circular motifs around all four edges of the piece. Fragments of fibre tie cords are attached to the top corner and at the sides, near the circular openings. There are remnants of a fringe of clear glass beads on all four edges. The piece is lined with red, white and black machine printed cotton textile, which has come loose in many places. Overall colour is maroon, lilac, black and gold.

Red cotton textile, embroidered with red, dark brown and yellow floral designs, mirrors and border motifs. There are three embroidered panels on the textile: a large band of embroidery is shaped like an elongated, inverted triangle, while the two much smaller panels are rectangular in shape, are located one of either side of the large panel, and are identical to each other. The embroidery designs on all three bands are composed of regularly-spaced, round, red floral motifs, each surrounded by a circle of mirrorwork. Each panel is bordered by narrow brown and yellow strips. The embroidery is so dense that it obscures the background textile.

Block printed cotton textile, printed on both sides. Blue and red are the predominant colours. Two identical, large, rectangular panels of geometric patterning are printed on the textile. In each panel, geometric and floral designs are grouped in intersecting horizontal and vertical borders that surround, on three sides, a large central rectangle of stylized floral and geometric patterns. A strip of black cotton textile (3.5 cm wide) is sewn to one end of the textile.

Woman or girl’s multicoloured, short-sleeved, blouse front. Dense, bold geometric motifs, embroidered in silk and cotton thread, cover almost the entire surface of the garment, and in most areas completely hide the ground textile, which is made of dark red cotton. The shoulder area is defined by large floral designs; below the armholes the motifs form an apron effect, with a wide border at the hemline and along the side edges. Mirrorwork, white rickrack and red beaded pompoms are incorporated into the design overall. The centre front neckline slit is decorated with white buttons, triangular turquoise tabs and tie-cords. Tie-cords are also located at the back of the neck and down the centre back opening, which extends from neck to hem. At the back of the shoulders, plain panels of dark red cotton textile are attached. Sleeves are extensions of the shoulder pieces. Sleeve edges and the hem are trimmed with beads, tassels, plastic disks and shells. A label made of off-white cotton textile, printed with a rubber stamp, is attached at the neck edge at the back with a loose running stitch.

Child’s embroidered dress with off-centre front neckline opening. A densely embroidered panel, trimmed with mirrors, surrounds the neck opening in the front and extends over the shoulders to form a back yoke. There is a large pocket inside the front of the dress that is accessible through the neckline slit; the purple machine printed cotton textile that forms the pocket is visible at the neckline. The flared skirt is embroidered with scattered multicoloured geometric figures on both the front and the back. The orange silk textile of the skirt is heavily damaged, exposing the red cotton underlining. Triangular, embroidered gussets are inserted at the sides, under the sleeves. The round neck opening closes with a loop fastener on the right hand side. Sleeve bands of embroidered textile (orange; purple; rose) are trimmed with sequins, rickrack and braid. The hem is finished with silver metallic braid (3 cm wide). The entire garment is underlined with cotton textile. A label made of off-white cotton textile, printed with a rubber stamp and handwritten with ball-point ink is attached at the neck edge on the back with a loose running stitch.
