Headdress of vibrantly coloured macaw, toucan and parrot feathers. Long bright blue feathers create a brim at front of headdress, coming to a point at centre. These are topped by a layer of shorter green and yellow feathers. Above the brim stands a crown of feathers arranged around the circular headband, very tall at front centre and shortening toward sides, lined in front with a set of shorter green and red feathers matching those on the brim. The bark headband is covered with small multicoloured feathers, with red fibre at the bottom. Three tall feathers stand upright on the rear of the headband. Below are tied several long strands of fibre, some threaded with small white glass beads. Intermittently down each strand are attached feathers in various sizes, some in small groupings gathered at their quills by short lengths of palm tubes, as well as elongated, dark brown seeds. Together the strands create a dense layer down the back of the wearer. To both sides of the headband are attached a string of seeds, ending in a flower shape, created by green, white and red feathers.

Bowl shaped basket decorated with three black horizontal bands with black dots in between. The upper band is just below the rim, the other two are on the round base. The inside is undecorated.

Strainer woven in natural coloured plant material in a twill weave. Elongated cone shape with hanging loop at end.

Full size hammock. Hammock is made of many thin strands of rolled palm fibre running parallel on the horizontal plane, doubled over at the ends. Dyed and undyed stripes alternate. Two very long ties are strung through the fold at each end. Along the body of the hammock the palm fibre is bound by white wool braided in a fishtail pattern, running perpendicular to the palm. The last two braids on each end are dyed red. The braids finish in thin tassels that hang from the edges of the hammock.

Headdress of macaw, toucan and parrot feathers. Brim made of woven palm bark, above a strip heavily wrapped with fine wool. On the outside of the brim are two layers of short blue and yellow feathers lying horizontally, with a layer of yellow feathers adhered upright to the woven rim. Behind this are seven upright, long painted tubes into which seven long blue and yellow feathers are inserted (parts b-h). Three bird wings with red and blue feathers are attached at the back of the brim. Below are tied several long strands of fibre, some threaded with small white glass beads. Intermittently down each strand are attached feathers in various sizes, in small groupings gathered at their quills by short lengths of palm tubes. Some strands include dark brown, elongated seeds. Together the strands would create a dense fall, down the back of the wearer.

Headdress of vibrantly coloured macaw, toucan and parrot feathers. Long bright blue feathers topped by shorter light green, red and yellow feathers create a brim at front of headdress, above which stands a tall crown of the same that splays slightly to the sides when worn. To the back of the headband are attached several strands of different lengths, made of fibre threaded with small white glass beads. Intermittently down each strand are attached small groupings of feathers in various sizes, held at their quills by short lengths of palm tubes. Some strands include elongated dark brown seeds. This creates a long, dense fall of feathers down the back of the wearer.
