Pair of hair ties. At one end of each tie, the threads are woven together.

There are three sections of white beads and two sections of wrapped thread. Below the pattern of beads and wrapped thread there is a purple tassel and at the end of each tassel there is either a round metal disc or a white bead. Two wrapped sections emerge from the tassel; these sections again alternate between white beads and wrapped thread. At the end of each of the two wrapped sections there is a tassel, similar to that found in the centre of the tie. At the end of each of the threads of the tassels there is either a round, metal disc or a white bead.
A pair of dark green cloth ties. Each tie is in three sections, each section made up of several strings, all of which are tied together at one end. At the opposite end from the knot, each of the three groups of strings are brought together and then wrapped in colourful thread with a different coloured pattern for each group. At the end of each section, below the colourful thread, are many smaller strings, each with a bead on the end. Two of the groups have blue beads, while one has white beads.
Swallowtail-shaped, embroidered fabric panel. The base fabric of this is light white-brown cotton with course cotton lining of the same colour.

Around the edge of the hanging on the inside of the piping and ruffles there are embroidered flowers on a vine in varying colours, the most predominant of which are red, green, blue, and yellow. The middle of each flower is a contrasting or opposite colour to the petals and the centre of the flower is a smaller circle in either the colour of the petals or a third contrasting colour.
