A knitted doll representing a female figure from Chimborazo leading her cow. The female figure is wearing a green hat, a yellow-white shawl, a black shirt, and a dark pink skirt with blue and yellow stripes near the bottom. She is wearing white pants under this skirt and she has black feet. Her hair is black and it has been tied with white yarn. This female figure is leading a knitted cow by a twisted rope that is looped around the cow's horns. The cow is yellow-white with brown horns, ears, nose, hooves, and body spots.

Dark red belt with green border along the top and bottom. The wool is tightly woven.

A wooden staff with six metal bands along the shaft and tipped metal ends. The tip of the staff is pointed. A metal wire extends through a hole in the staff near the top, above the second metal band. This wire secures two metal coins and a metal hook/clasp that has been hinged and shaped to rest flush against the cylindrical shaft. There is a coin on each side of the staff, both read "Republica del Ecuador". There are also some short decorative ribbons located at the same point as the coins and clasp. There is a cotton ribbon striped dark yellow, blue and red and wool ribbons in blue, green, and red.

This poncho consists of two large rectangles of machine-processed, black felted wool that have been sewn together with black thread along one edge, with a gap left for the neck. There is a multi-coloured, embroidered stripe that runs along the edge of the neck, shoulders, and bottom of the poncho. This embroidered stripe has been created with very even, tight stitching, which suggests that it was created with a sewing machine. The bottom edge displays an interlocking diamond pattern in white that is bordered with lines of plain stitching. This is followed by single, parallel lines of red stitching, green stitching, and yellow stitching. The neck opening and the shoulders are embroidered with a similar pattern that consists of plain yellow/green/red lines, followed by interlocking white diamonds, and completed with plain red/green/yellow lines.

The belt is divided into three horizontal, colour-based bands. The outer edges are dark red, the centre stripe is red and green, and the other bands are yellow and black. The design on the belt consists of bars alternating with geometric motifs. The colours are reversed on the back of the belt. There is a fringe on one end of the belt.

A narrow woven belt with the front displaying yellow text and figures on red, and the back displaying red text and figures on yellow. The edges of the belt are black. Each end contains alternating stripes in red and yellow and is finished with a 0.5 centimeter fringe. The design on the belt consists of text and a llama image on each end. The text reads "Republica . del . Ecuador Noblembre XXII DEL ANO 1975".

Two heavy, tightly woven rectangular pieces of fabric that have been sewn together length-wise, with a space left in the middle as a neck opening. Dark blue in colour with no collar, this poncho has been finished with a fringe along the bottom, created from the same blue wool as the rest of the garment.

A tightly woven fiesta shawl, primarily white cotton. Stylized plants, birds, dogs, and geometric patterns have been embroidered on the ends with light purple, pink-red, and light green wool yarn. Two ends of the shawl have been finished with a twisted yellow-white cotton fringe. The fringe has been decorated with pink-red and light green wool tassels.
