Rectangular dance screen torn into 3 sections; cloth is an unbleached ecru-coloured cotton painted in black with a u-shaped Sisiutl design.

Part b has the missing portion of the front face on part a. Part c features the left side and left face in profile.
Long narrow textile. The upper half of one side is mostly painted with scenes of animals and people in yellow, blue and brown. The lower half and the reverse are mostly covered with written text in black, that has been divided into sections outlined in orange. Both sides are covered.
A flat, embroidered seat cover. It appears to be shaped to fit a large bicycle seat. It is constructed from blue cotton textile (that has faded to a blue gray colour on the front side of the object), which is profusely embroidered in chain stitch with bright orange and mustard yellow silk or rayon floss, using a meandering pattern, along with paisley motifs and designs that perhaps represent peacocks. A small hooked sun disc motif, enclosed in a circle, appears in the centre, and along the perimeter of the design field are several small discs made from yellow, green and white glass beads. Some gold metallic braid is incorporated into the design. The embroidered textile is edged with a dense fringe made from twisted dark red fibre (faded) and white glass beads, and a ruffle made from dark green synthetic knitted textile. The embroidery is backed with red cotton textile.
Embroidered textile panel for a blouse front. The embroidery is worked on gray-green cotton textile, with predominantly red and purple/mauve geometric designs and mirrorwork. The designs are outlined in black and orange. The embroidery is underlined with bright pink block printed cotton gauze. A strip of bright green embroidered cotton textile (15.8 cm wide) is sewn to the lower edge; the colours of this strip, as well as the style of embroidery, are different from those used on the upper portion of the textile.
Pair of leather mittens with a long, flaring cuff trimmed with dark brown fur; a second band of fur encircles with wrist, with a leather fringe on both sides of the mittens running between the two bands of fur. Floral-shaped beadwork in white, orange, black and light green. Lined with bright blue, floral print fabric.
Rectangular, multi-coloured silk ikat bed cover or wall hanging, constructed of three lengths of bright pink, white, blue-green and yellow warp-face ikat silk satin textile, seamed together vertically, and loosely quilted onto a backing of machine-printed cotton textile. The backing textile is pieced from two floral prints, one with orange and brown predominating, the other with red, yellow and brown predominating. The object is bound on all four edges with bright yellow-green silk dupioni textile, which forms a narrow edging on the front and a wider border on the back. Possibly used as a bed cover for a bride and groom.
A woman's full white cotton broadcloth blouse (or sleeves), overlapping at the centre back, and with no fasteners. Fullness gathered onto narrow neckband at the front, trimmed with narrow eyelet edging. Three-quarter length sleeves gathered onto narrow wrist bands.
Square embroidered domestic textile, with large naturalistic floral designs stitched with silk floss in many colours on red cotton fabric. There is a large circular floral pattern in the centre and an arrangement of flowers, leaves and stems in each corner of the square. A border of meandering stems, leaves and flowers forms a frame around the outside edges of the square. The background textile was pieced together from narrow strips before the embroidered patterns were worked. The edges are, for the most part, unfinished, although needle marks along some edges indicate that an edging, such as braid or fringe, may once have been in place.
