Headdress made of cassowary feathers and plastic bags. The ends of the bundled long feathers, tightly wrapped with strips of black, white, green or pink plastic bags are bound together into a flat band with double braids of a variety of rope pieces that join together at the sides and continue as long braided ties, with more plastic strips intertwined. Most of the feathers (dark and some light) stick upwards from the main section of the band while light ones hang downwards from each end.
Flat, square-shaped, light-coloured woven basket or bag with attached long grass fibre tassels. Made of a panel of basketry, folded in half and sewn along the opposite and bottom edges, it has long braided straps that are the continuation of several of the vertical strands at both top corners; the other vertical strands end in tiny knots that form a fringe along the top rim. Long strands of dark brown are interwoven to create two thick horizontal bands with a light design of opposing chevrons.
Flat rectangular-shaped woven basket or bag with long braided strap. On both flat sides, pink, turquoise, and green strands are interwoven with the natural coloured strands to create a design of two wide diagonal bands that cross at rim centre, from where nine small braids extend up into the thicker braids that are knotted at the end.
