Mask depicting Gulu Sanniya (which represents dumbness) with deeply set eye sockets, a prominent blunt nose, a very large open mouth with lips drawn back to show protruding teeth, and a low forehead. The eyes have large black irises with a white dot at the centre, and the top half of each eye is outlined in black. The teeth are painted white and outlined in black, and the face is painted dark red. There is a hole in either side of the mask at the top of each cheek, and a strip of off-white cloth has been attached through the holes.
Mask most likely depicting Murtu Sanniya (which represents swooning and fainting spells), but it could also be Kana Sanni (which represents blindness). The face is painted brown, the eyes have black pupils with drooping white eyelids outlined in red and black, the eyebrows are high arches, and there is an indentation between the eyes. There are crescent-shaped slits below the eyes, the nose has red nostrils, and the lips are also painted red. There is a hole on either side at the temples through which is threaded a white fabric strap.

The figures may represent abstract forms of sea or water animals, possibly a whale, fish and frog? The figures are painted green and accented with white.

Rounded basket with a flat, circular bottom, lid and two handles. Interlocking coiled work (bifurcated stitches), parallel slat base and watch-spring lid construction. Lid has an indented slat flange. Wrapped splint handle on body, and thong ties. Decorated with both beading and imbrication. Lid has beading in two concentric rows (grass and red cherry bark) with imbricated pattern, while the body has a continuous 'wave' pattern which has angular appearance, because of width of stitches (one per slat), interspersed with what looks like small animal figures beaded in red. Double beaded row of grass staggered on bottom row.
