Doll figure is made of a cotton under- form, covered at bottom by a red and blue skirt with encircling rows of white beads. Torso and neck are wrapped with a twisted cord of undyed plant fibre, and its head of brown cotton perched at top. Hair made of twisted fibre hangs to below chin, eyes are made of white and orange beads; a line of white beads runs from forehead to chin. A vest of animal hair wraps around the doll’s shoulders and chest, and canvas arms emerge from sides. Bracelets of multi-coloured beads hang from elbows and wrists, and fingers are made of the same. Doll holds a hair whisk in one hand.

Fabric doll. Doll is made of brown polyester, dressed in a suit of dark green cotton with a red belt. Large pockets decorate the front, and a matching green bag is slung over the right shoulder. A silver chain drapes from right shoulder to left hip. Facial features are stitched thread, with a red mouth and white and black eyes. Over the black hair is a Basotho style hat, made of thick woven plant fibre. The hat comes to a point at top, where there is a loop.

Ten strand shell wealth (tafuli'ae). Very long strands of shell discs are strung on nylon string, with tassels at each end. Most of the shell discs are approximately 0.8 cm diameter. At the centre is a 14 cm long red shell section woven in a net-like pattern. The colour pattern of discs for each side, from there to the ends, is mirrored. At each end of the central design there is a thin bar (clam shell?) drilled with ten holes. The nylon fibre goes through the holes and then forms ten strands of shell discs going off in both directions. The next section (on each side) starts with several white and black discs, then has all dark red and orange-red discs for 18-19 cm. Then a white and black striped section goes on for 21-22 cm, ending in another thin bar with drilled holes. On the other side of the bar the pattern is repeated with the red section. However the next black-white section runs for approx. 36 cm. and the black discs are of a smaller diameter. There are also three stripes of reddish discs incorporated into these last sections. At the ends, the blue string is knotted together, with four half seed pods and red cotton tassels attached. The rest of the blue fibre is braided into a single tail, with the end knotted and singed.

Comb made from 13 individual lengths of flexible wood bound together by white string, and ending in prongs stabilized by two pieces of wood acting as cross bars wrapped in string. The string binding alternates up the handle between being bound to one outer-side, crossing through the individual pieces, and then winding around the opposite side. Along the cross-bars the string is wrapped diagonally around each running in opposite directions.

Comb made of flexible wood which is split vertically near the end to form nine prongs which are held apart by its binding. The handle is rectangular in shape, flaring out into the prongs of the comb. Where the handle and prongs meet there is a band of braided string wrapped around the handle. There is also one strand of plant fibre wrapped around the handle between the wood and the prongs. The end of the handle is rounded.

Double sided apron. One side is thick wool in three panels with horizontal stripes of various thicknesses in bright pinks, shades of blue, green and white. The other side is a light cotton with blue and white pinstripes and small repeating motifs in darker blue. Thin cotton handles are attached at the top corners, with a pattern in brown tones.

Woven sling. Black and white strands of wool are twisted and woven into a long rope with a large loop at one end. Tassels of hair dyed bright red are attached to neck of loop. Several strands of unbraided white wool hang from the opposite end. At centre of rope the wool splits, and inside is stitched a diamond shaped panel of red cotton backed by patchwork wool material in green, orange, red and purple.

Geru board, or headdress. Made of thin plywood in a large diamond shape at centre, with a partial circle at top, and to the sides two ‘arms’ branching off at angles both upwards and down, separated by a small triangle. The board is painted red, blue and yellow mainly in triangle and diamond shapes, with front similar but more complex than back. At bottom is a headpiece lined with red cotton fabric, and topped by a synthetic orange material. Two wooden handles are attached to the bottom of the headpiece and wrapped with plant fibre. Part b is a plywood piece that has broken off one side of the headdress.
