Woman’s embroidered hat or headdress, consisting of a skull cap with a long, wide ‘tail’ or extension in the back. The skull cap is made of black cotton textile, which is gathered at the top to fit the shape of the head, and there is an elaborate embroidered, crown-like topknot in the centre. The ‘tail’ or extension is attached to the back of the cap from approximately ear to ear and tapers to a narrow, squared-off end at the wearer’s waist. There is a triangular embroidered motif at the centre back where the extension meets the cap at the base of the skull. On the extension, triangular and diamond-shaped embroidered motifs are worked in bright pink and red silk floss, with small accents of green and yellow, and are arranged horizontally in narrow rows down the length of the extension. The embroidery stitches are so densely worked that very little of the background textile is visible. The extension is backed with a coarsely woven textile made of a bast fibre, perhaps jute. There is a small amount of silver thread embroidery on the crown.

Long, flat, tapered, embroidered bag made of black cotton textile, embellished on one side with clusters of flowers, leaves and stems.

The inside of the wallet is divided into two compartments, each closed with a flap, plus one long inner compartment that extends the full length of the purse. The embroidery on the inside is the same style as on the outside. The flaps are edged with multi-coloured embroidery. The compartments are lined with machine-printed textiles.

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 back of the skirt is pieced from panels of black, pink and white printed cotton textile and an embroidered pink silk textile that is almost identical to that used on the skirt front. 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.

Small embroidered square textile, made from white cotton textile, with multicoloured motifs worked in counted thread embroidery. The design field is divided into quadrants, each bearing a large, stylized floral motif; these motifs are identical in form but are varied in colours; two are red and blue, two are green and purple. Various smaller motifs are used to embellish the borders and the bars that separate the quadrants. A narrow hem on all four sides is finished with a zigzag stitch. A thin twisted fibre cord is attached to one corner. The textile is reversible; the two sides are almost identical.
