The robe constructed from long, narrow (18-19cm) strips of hand woven woolen textile that are hand stitched together, edge to edge.

Man’s vest, made from narrow vertical strips of hand woven, ‘rustic,’ dark-red wool textile that have been sewn together edge to edge; the strips have been cut and shaped to fit closely at the shoulders and flare out at the hem. The vest (front and back) is overlaid from shoulders to the waist with a patchwork of plain gold-thread textile and gold brocade with floral motifs in red and pink with green foliage. An 11 cm wide strip of a more finely woven dark red wool textile extends from the front edge of each arms eye, continues over the shoulders and down the back of the vest to about waist level. A 23.5 cm wide strip of the same finely woven dark red textile, folded lengthwise in half, has been applied at the centre front edges and extends around the neck to form a high collar; this strip is longer on the right side than on the left. A piece of bright red cotton broadcloth has been loosely tacked over this strip, leaving a section on the lower right uncovered. No closures. Voluminous. Unlined.

Woman’s dress with multicoloured embroidered bodice front, very long wide sleeves, and very full, closely gathered, bright pink, embroidered skirt. The bodice front is embellished with a densely embroidered panel of floral forms and tree of life motifs in (predominantly) orange and dark red in chain stitch on maroon ground; appliquéd over the embroidery are four large, thick felt discs embellished with silver thread embroidery on red and multicoloured ground; two discs are located at the centre front and two are over the breasts. The bodice back is made from deep pink and white striped textile, pieced with solid colour cotton textiles, and is trimmed with small, simple discs made of blue felt. The front neck opening is trimmed with silver braid; there is a button and loop made of twisted fibre at the centre back neckline. The skirt front is densely gathered onto the bodice and is constructed from bright pink silk textile which is embroidered over-all with brightly coloured motifs, arranged in horizontal rows.

The sleeves are also made from pink embroidered textile (but the right sleeve is pieced with a panel of plain pink), and the cuffs are made from wide bands of silver ribbon. Each cuff is trimmed with a felt disc which is embellished with silver thread embroidery.
