Miniature carving of an oil lamp with wick (part b). The lamp’s bowl is shallow and flattened at the back. At the centre of the back of the bowl there is a row of red plastic bumps. The base has deep notches along all four sides. The wick is rounded at one end tapering down to a flat edge on the other. It is slightly curved near the middle.
Doll inside a hide carrier. The doll’s head protrudes out of the top of the carrier and wears a fur trimmed hood that ties under the chin. Each eye is a small black bead, with three red beads creating the mouth. The doll wears a rawhide top decorated with fringe on the shoulders and stitched closed down the front. Hands are crossed over the stomach. The carrier is closed tightly around the doll by thongs that crisscross across the front. Brown fur covers the sides and back of the carrier, a strip of white fur partially covers the back from top to bottom, and a rawhide fringe decorates the top back.
Pair of soft beaded hide gloves, or gauntlets, that reach to mid forearm. On the back of the hand are three lines of beads, white and red, with the two outer lines holding three green leaves each. On the back of the wrist is a white beaded flower with dark red centre and accent. It has two vines in the same colours, also with three green leaves per vine. On the outside wrist edge of each glove is a long hide fringe. The top cuff of the glove is rounded, while the underside cuff is straight. The wrist portion of the glove is decorated front and back as well as top and bottom with scalloped edging.
Hollow, gold coloured processional baton with figure at top wearing a black top hat. The face has wide set blue eyes, flaring orange nostrils, an open mouth and straight white teeth. The chin is blue with flared edges and fluffy black fibres on the back. The hat is decorated with silver glitter.
Hand-made artificial limb. The thigh-height leg is made of two pieces of wood. The top piece accommodates the wearer’s own thigh, and is wider at top, narrowing toward the knee. A long strip of fabric is wound around the top for tightening. Interwoven are pieces of black rubber and a thin piece of cord. Part of the thigh piece has been hammered into place to repair a hole. Beneath is attached the leg bottom, a long, narrower piece of wood with a flat base.
Heavily beaded baby carrier. The back piece is made of a thick, flat board of wood, rounded at top, narrowing considerably toward bottom, covered in hide. The front top of the board is beaded with a pattern of flowers of (from top) blue, brown, red and yellow with blue, all attached to green vines with leaves. The background is white beads. The bottom front half of the board is a leather tie-up bag with a canvas collar into which a baby can be placed. Over this is black velvet, beaded with three multicoloured, large flowers connected by a black and white vine. Green scalloped material edges the apron. The back side is red fabric with a blue and yellow flower pattern. On the back of the carrier is a belt attached at both sides.
Black and gold "Rey Caporal" mask (part a) with large bristly black beard and silver pipe and hat. Blue eyes are framed by fine gold tinsel. The mouth has six white teeth and a thick bottom lip, which fades from pink to blue and is decorated with white and black stripes. The tongue is red with a silver border. Curling black hair wraps around the back of the head into the beard. The beard has a white, tarp-like backing. The hat has a box at the front, resting on the brim, which contains five tubes for the five woolly sticks (parts b-f). The sticks alternate colours without the outside and centre sticks having yellow tops and brown bases, and the other two sticks having white tops and yellow bottoms. A cardboard placard (part g) with gold trim sits in front of the sticks.
Hand-made artificial limb. The knee height leg is constructed of wood, rubber and metal. The limb is made of a single piece of wood carved into a cylinder wider at top and narrowing toward the ankle.

The artificial limb is attached to the wearer’s leg by an encircling piece of wire that is twisted using a short wooden rod to tighten and close the slats. A small rubber plate is attached at bottom by nails for a foot. A fabric handle is attached to the leg at top and ankle.
