Two baskets tied together. Each basket is woven tightly from medium size strips of brown bark. There is a lip at the opening of both and the baskets are tied together with a piece of the weaving that has been pulled loose from the weave itself. The two pieces of bark are then tied into a simple knot.

Brown knotted-rope pot hanger. At one end of the rope the fibre has been wrapped into a circular shape. The circular shape has 4 four separate ropes and the rest of the ropes are knotted around the circle to keep it in place. There are 10 ropes coming out of the circle. The ropes are grouped together in twos as the ropes leave the circle. Each group of ropes is knotted twice together. The second knot is tied by taking one rope from one group and another rope from a second group and then they are tied together into a new knot. From these two ropes, after the knot, only one rope emerges.

Two pieces of wood, bound together by woven rattan board. Narrows at one end. Narrow end also bound together by third piece of wood wrapped in rattan. Thick green rope tied to top and hangs loose with wooden 'V' shaped piece tied at end. Two light brown fibre straps attached to woven rattan, with dark brown rope tied to one end of strap and one end of wood.

The coat opens at the front and closes with metal clips; the underside of the sleeves is made of a solid burgundy coloured fabric; pocket sewn onto front with red thread.
