Small, flat, square, embroidered, envelope-style bag, detailed with mirrors and pompoms, made by folding and stitching together three corners of a flat, square panel to form a pocket, with the fourth corner left open to serve as a flap or cover. The square-shaped embroidered motifs, formed from bars of satin stitch, are grouped together into larger squares, arranged in an X shape, and are outlined in black. Mirror-work is incorporated into the designs and along the edges of the square. The embroidery is so dense that it completely covers the background textile. The seams are embellished with decorative stitching. There are small pompoms scattered throughout the design. Two thin fibre strings are attached to the corner of the flap. The embroidery is underlined with multicoloured cotton gauze.
Rectangular, embroidered panel (woman's blouse-front -- unfinished) made of red cotton muslin, heavily embellished with designs worked in metallic and multicoloured threads, and combining two different styles of embroidery. In the centre of one end of the panel (the top of the blouse design) is a long, narrow, vertical, dagger-shaped section embellished with closely-spaced mirrors and large, circular whorls made of coiled silver, metal-wrapped thread, laid and couched with black thread. Parts of the designs are worked in chain stitch and elongated square chain stitch. Rows of metallic whorl motifs also embellish two rectangular shoulder panels and two square panels at chest level. Black thread is used for couching the silver thread in some of the whorls, while in others, yellow thread is used, giving the illusion that the silver metallic thread is gold. Portions of the design are unfinished or incomplete. At the other end of the panel (below the waist level of the blouse-front), the designs form an apron effect, decorated with scattered, multicoloured X-shaped motifs worked in satin stitch. There is a border of temple-shaped motifs, flowers and mirrors at the 3 edges of this “apron.” There are raw edges on all 4 sides of the panel, and there is no underlining. Four glass beads (3 opalescent, 1 green) are incorporate into the design, but do not contribute to the design scheme itself.
Large cluster of circular glass gems with one red gem near one end. Gems are secured with a four-pronged claw setting. There are four gem parts that extend from the larger gem cluster. A long metal pin that is secured to the underside of the object is the longest extended point.
Large cluster of circular glass gems with one light blue gem near one end. Gems are secured with a four-pronged claw setting. There are seven gem parts that extend from the larger gem cluster by way of small spiraled wire parts. Two larger gem clusters are arched. On either side of them, there are two single rows of gems with six gems each. In between them, there are three longer single rows of gems. They have an extra three gems attached to the ends in a flower formation.
Thin cylindrical piece of bone that has a recessed area and a knob at one end and a metal loop with beads strung onto it at the other end. White thread is wound around recessed area. Eleven small and two deep grooves go around just above recessed area; deep grooves are painted red; similar groove pattern at beaded end. A name, Caroline, is written lengthwise on bobbin in small dots; line of alternating red and green larger dots on other side from name. The beads vary in size; the colours of the beads in order are: pink, clear, pink, white with painted flowers, clear, pink, and clear.
Small, flat, rectangular, multi-coloured pouch made by folding a long, narrow, embroidered panel in half crosswise and stitching up the long sides, leaving one narrow end open. The embroidery is so densely worked that almost none of the background textile is visible. The two sides of the pouch are almost identical in design and colour. Each side has a rectangular centre design panel embroidered with diamond shaped motifs outlined in black, some embellished with mirrors; the centre panel is outlined in dark yellow stitching, a row of mirrors interspersed with embroidered bars, and an edging of black “braid” made from dense bundles of black thread that are laid and couched at wide intervals. There is a pompom made of cotton thread at each corner. The pouch is lined with red printed cotton gauze.
Embroidered, rectangular textile panel, heavily stitched in soft colours with cotton and silk thread on red cotton fabric. Very little of the background textile shows through the dense stitching. The design consists of rows of large circles, separated by narrow bands of black and yellow diamond motifs. Mirrors are incorporated into the design motifs. Three edges of the rectangle are finished with five rows of multicoloured (teal, light blue, magenta, chartreuse, green) cotton binding (machine stitched). One long edge is raw, with the remnants of machine stitches where something has been removed. One end of the panel has a border motif of circles, mirrors and diamond shapes. The embroidery is underlined with scraps of multicoloured textile.
