Pair of beaded leggings. Backing is red felt, with an edging of tan canvas. A pink boarder containing a stripe of yellow and blue frames the legging, surrounding three vertical stripes of white with a similar blue and yellow stripe, edged with green. Metal snap components sit at each corner. Leggings rectangular, slightly wider at top.

Large mask. A leatherette form fits over the head, and is covered with a thick pallet of sheep wool, a long red leather face emerging at centre. Face has a trunk-like nose painted with yellow, black and white stripes, and a long red and white tongue hanging below. A moustache of sorghum sits below the nose, with bean teeth attached. Goose feathers serve as large ears along the side of the head, and long black horns emerge above. Wool pompoms and bunches of pheasant feathers top the horns, and a wreath of ribbons and paper flowers span the distance between them.
