Hide saddle bag with a long hide fringe on the ends and short fringe along the sides. The border of the bag is red felt banded in beads on top and bottom in a red and blue diamond pattern on a white background. Above the border is a zigzag beaded outline. On the body of the saddlebag are beaded diamond bursts with rawhide streamers. The saddlebag is sewn of sections of buck skin with a cut opening and short fringes along the length of the bag and long fringes along the ends.

These knee- high moccasins have a turned over flap on the top that is longer in back than front and is fringed. A separate band of hide is trimmed with beadwork and sewn down the front of the leg, overlapping the base of the foot. Another band of beadwork runs around the bottom of legging where it joins.

Pair of feathered ear ornaments worn by men. Earring "a" has seven bunches of red and yellow toucan feathers tied to strands of light blue, dark blue, and white glass beads. These are attached to a short bamboo tube that is hollow at one end and decorated with bands of incised geometric designs. Earring "b" has eight bunches of red and yellow toucan feathers tied to strands of light blue, dark blue, white, light green, dark green, yellow, and orange glass beads. These are attached to a slender undecorated bamboo stick (possibly a replacement for a lost decorated one). Condition: Good.
