Man’s long, narrow, rectangular scarf or sash, heavily embroidered with multicoloured geometric and floral motifs and many mirrors. Arranged along the length of the scarf are sixteen square and rectangular blocks of embroidered designs, consisting of a variety of motifs, many different kinds of stitches and two styles of embroidery (kharek and pakka). The embroidery is so dense that it completely covers the background textile. The blocks of embroidery are separated by black “braid” formed from bundles of black cotton thread which is laid and couched with red thread. There is a border of silver and gold mirrors along all four edges, and the ends are embellished with green and pink beadwork and small red-orange silk tassels. A binding of dark green cotton muslin is machine-stitched along the outside edges. The underlining is pieced from plain and printed cotton and rayon(?) textile in various shades of red.
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 outlined in black, are grouped together into larger squares that are arranged in a grid, separated with narrow bands of alternating mirror-work and floral designs that form an X on the back of the bag. The square is bordered with mirror-work, alternating with floral designs. The embroidery is so dense that it completely covers the background textile. There are glass beads sewn onto the seams, which are worked in fine interlacing stitch. Small pompoms and glass beads are stitched to the lower corners. At the intersection of the three corners is a small white button, embellished with small coloured glass beads. The embroidery is underlined with red cotton textile that is printed with multicoloured designs.
Close-fitting, shoulder-length child’s hood made of red cotton textile which is heavily embroidered with medallions, geometric designs, mirrorwork and linear border motifs, worked in green, yellow, off-white, blue and black cotton and silk thread. A rectangular panel of embroidered cotton textile hangs loosely to the shoulders at the sides and back. Mirrors, alternating with blocks of interlacing stitch, form a border around the edges of this panel; a square multicoloured medallion and two multicoloured circular medallions are embroidered at the centre back. The crown is embroidered with floral motifs worked in silk floss, and there is a short fringe of green, white and blue glass beads at the forehead. Two short strands of twisted fibre are attached at the front edge, over the temples. The hood is lined with dark yellow and red cotton textile, and the edges of the hood are bound with dark yellow and green cotton bias tape.
