A woman’s headdress made from coarsely woven dark brown wool textile. Consisting of a headband and an attached narrow “tail” or streamer that hangs down the back. Lavishly decorated with cowrie shells, red, and white glass beads, buttons, and embroidery. The headband is embellished with two rows of cowrie shells separated by a row of red glass beads. The bottom edge of the headband is finished with multi-coloured embroidery resembling a braid. The “tail” is trimmed with many buttons, red, and white glass beads, and cowrie shells forming floral and geometric shapes. The bottom is fringed (about 13.5 cm) and the side edges are finished with red, blue, and yellow-green embroidery resembling a braid. The textile used to construct the headband is woven in plain weave while the streamer is made from warp yarns which have been braided and loosely woven together to form a fabric.

Large, thick, rectangular rug, boldly patterned and so densely embroidered in chain stitch that the supporting textile (heavy black wool twill, glued to a layer of burlap) is all but obscured. The large design motif, which is worked with green, gold, pink, orange, and off-white wool thread, consists of circles and geometric shapes within a square frame. There are three of these motifs in the centre of the rug. A narrow edge of the black textile is visible, as a narrow border, at the edge of all four sides of the rug, and a layer of dark brown, lightweight cotton textile is machine-stitched to the back of the piece. All of the colours are faded, however, more vibrant colours are visible if the rows of chain stitches are pushed aside to reveal the unexposed surfaces that lie close to the supporting textile.

Many long (38cm) strands of dark red glass and metallic cylindrical beads, interspersed with white seeds, are attached just above this textile and hang freely to the bottom of the garment.
