V-shaped, multicoloured, embroidered, decorative band. The 2 “arms” of the band are decorated with a repeated, square, embroidered motif, perhaps representing a natural object, such as an animal, bird or plant. All motifs are identical to each other in design, but differ in colouration. At the inside edge of the V is a strip (13 mm) of multicoloured, slanted Greek key motifs which has been embroidered onto an open-weave textile, then appliquéd onto the piece; the outer edge is finished with a narrow strip of black cotton textile. The lower edge of the V is finished with green commercially-made fringe (14 cm). The piece is underlined with pastel striped cotton textile.
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.
Very long, narrow, black and grey textile, decorated with many horizontal rows of resist-dyed or painted red disks that are overprinted or stamped with black cross-shaped motifs, like petals of a flower. Sections woven with wool or goat hair yarns alternate with sections woven with cotton yarns. Long black fringes at each end are made by tightly twisting the warp yarns.
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.
Sleeveless dress with blue bodice and black skirt. The bodice has a v-neckline edged with floral trim. There is a black velvet band at the waist with metal hook and eye closures. The skirt is gathered in the back, plain in front. The upper inner lining is printed cotton with a stripe and floral pattern.
A woman's hat made from a woven straw base that has been coated with gesso and formed into a boat shape by bending the brim down at each side. Brim is covered with black velvet, and cotton fabric.

Woman's small rectangular shawl, with white centre surrounded on three sides by rows of black cut work embroidery and white lace, with black and white lace edging. The cut embroidery is backed with a scrap of bright pink cotton textile, and the white lace is backed by a pale green and pale blue moire ribbon, which have been loosely attached to the back of the shawl.

Bordered on four sides with wide floral multi-coloured printed bands consisting of red, white, blue, and yellow flowers with green leaves that are outlined by an inner band consisting of red outward curving arches on yelow background and an outer band consisting of red and green dots on a yellow background. Additional floral motifs on two corners consisting of two large white and one large blue flower surrounded by smaller flowers with green leaves.
A woman's pleated full wrap-around off-white half-slip. Gathered onto a waistband with attached ties. One horizontal tuck at hip level (for shortening). Lace trim at hem. Heavily starched.

There are bands of red and yellow wool, embroidery and rickrack of blue and green at collar, shoulders, neck opening, upper back, cuffs and bottom hem. The bands around the neckline overlap at the bottom. The inner collar is lined with brown, green and tan patterned cotton; the rest is unlined.
