An irregular cut piece of natural brown cotton with red and brown deer arranged alternately in a rectangular grid. The grid is defined by alternating red and brown lines in warp and weft directions. The deer is shown in profile, with tail, two antlers and a speckled body. Two original edges remain: a warp selvedge with heading cords and a weft selvedge that appears to be hemmed with ancient thread. Z-spun single in warp; s-spun singles in weft; z-spun, singles in weft; z-spun, two ply alpaca yarns.

A rectangular, striped fabric with fringes. Lengthwise stripes in deep, strong shades of red-brown, off white, dark yellow and black. The colours alternate quite regularly but the width of the stripes vary. Cross-wise white borders are joined to the main body by a scaffold cord, not sewn. Two rows of countered weft twining with bunches of dark yellow and black threads secure the woven borders and stabilize the warp fringe; totally made of camelid (alpaca ?) yarns. Z spun, two plied s yarns.

Two rectangular textile fragments of yellow and white slit tapestry with design bands separated by horizontal stripes (part a and b). The major design band, which appears on both fragments, is a series of chevrons with avian-feline(?) composites, triangles and interlocking spirals in adjacent chevrons. Part a, the larger fragment, also has a band of profile birds and another of interlocking spirals. A separately woven fringe is sewn to the warp selvedge. Fragments of blue sewing thread remain on the single weft selvedge.

Two cut fragments (part a and b) of brown cotton weave of approximately the same size. Each rectangular piece has two brocaded composite motifs with bird, serpentine and humanoid characteristics. One edge on each piece has a tubular woven border with fish motifs.

Skirt, woman's, in a two-tiered style with wide pleats at the waist. A band of off-white cotton at the top closes at the side with a drawstring. The rest of the skirt is sewn from commercially woven wool with a piled finish on the outside.

A fragment of a 3-dimensional border consisting of 6 yellow flowers branching from a green stalk. The lower flowers are shown as undeveloped buds while the top blooms are fully mature with enlarged red pistils and four petals. One lower bud has broken off but is preserved.

Oval mouth of red stuffed fabric wired at intervals around lips. White plastic teeth, two large protruding fangs on top row. Under nose and around mouth is a beard of black wool strands. Nose and cheeks are flesh-toned. Protruding eyes are carved on circular backgrounds with red, yellow and black petal designs on the lids. The black pupils are outlined in red. The brown wool eyebrows are knotted, tied and wired to the eyes. A label on the reverse reads, "PANDAM PALIYA: The torch-bearing appartition" in typed letters, and also a circled "7" in pencil.
