Cotton textile, completely sewn on a red lining with white stitching. Outside background border is dark green with alternating yellow and white flower shapes with mirror centres; flowers are interspersed with multi-coloured leaves.

The middle motif is a more complex variation of the others on red background. Patch of darker red background material on left hand side.
Flat curved metal blade with inward curve and round end sharpened. Blade inserted into handle which has a flattened oval shape in cross section and a groove at end for blade with butt end having small point. Blade bound in place with coated cord. Handle decorated with long woven band in green, yellow, white, and red, tied to point and back of handle with green thread. At handle end, four braided and beaded strings fall forward (beads yellow, red, green, and black).
Rectangular band of woven cloth; one end sewn finished, the other ends in several green and brown twisted strands with shell noisemakers. The band is made of three parts: a central band of complex geometric weaving in green and brown in the supplementary weft, and edged with thin brown, green and pink bands. The noisemakers are halved shells of nuts or seeds.
Faded rectangular band of woven cotton with geometric pattern of brown diamonds in supplementary weft; edges are woven in five bands of tan, red, brown, blue, and yellow. Ends bound together with strands from weaving. Excess binding is braided and strung with large seeds and metallic bells at each end. The bottom of the band has numerous strands of transparent beads of blue and red, along the entire length.
Two near identical beadwork tassels with seed endings. Tied together at top with excess strands. Each is woven in a like manner: six strands in white, purple and orange beads are woven into a cylinder with geometric patterns (diamonds and x's) in black, yellow, green, and red. The six strands then re-emerge from the cylinder, each ending in two seeds. A seventh strand, in green, purple, and red, and also ending in two nutshells, descends from the top of the tassel, through the cylinder, and hangs between the other strands at the bottom.
Rectangular band of woven beads in a geometric pattern: a central motif of two green chevrons extending from the edges with points meeting in the centre is repeated one and a half times. The chevrons are flanked by a yellow pattern proceeding from the centre to an alternating edge. White field; black edging. Nine strands (one black, eight orange) extend from the joined ends, with shell endings and large wooden black beads. The shells appear to be from crab legs.
Band of beadwork joined by binding ends of strands together. Geometric pattern in beads: extreme edges are black, followed by a triangular pattern of alternating green, white, and blue beads, followed by an orange stripe. The rest of the band has a complex pattern mirrored around a vertical line slightly off centre, in yellow diamonds and red, blue, white, black, and orange beads in field.
Rectangular strip of intricately woven beads. Ends finished with eleven strands of beads: nine black, two (central) green. Strip edged with black beads. Major component of bead pattern is diamonds, alternating blue and green with white and yellow surrounding. Blue, white, and yellow chevrons at edges.

Design consists of horizontally arranged bands or rings--some with designs of birds in red and diagonal stripes in green--separated by bands of openwork and solid bands of yellow and red. Strips of glossy black material are inserted behind openwork.
Human face with a wrinkled forehead and large protruding ears, lips, eyebrows, and nose. The circular eyes are inset with mirrors and metal rims that are sunken in orange eye sockets. Long curvilinear grooves extend down the sides of the face to the shin from the ears. Cedar bark fringe attached at top of the head is short in the front and long in the back. The mask is painted with orange and blue on the forehead and ears, black brows with white underneath that extends down in a curve on either side of the face that forks at the end beside the mouth, orange around the eyes and on the nostrils and lips, orange and blue on the grooves at the sides of the face, and the remainder of the face is painted black.
