Long magenta silk shawl. The shawl is hand-woven with a row of black chain stitch and a long fringe on the ends.

Hat with brim of black lambs wool. A coarse brown woven wool cloth lining gives the hat its form. Over this is sewn a blue silk-like fabric with a darker blue overall pattern and circular gold Chinese designs. A band of black lambs wool 10 cm wide is sewn on the inside and is turned up with peaks at the ears. Across the front, the 3 cm wide band of black lamb skin is sewn on with two bands of bright green and pink binding.

Hand-woven cotton sash made of 3 pieces of fabric sewn together lengthwise. Purple outer borders with two narrow parallel stripes in black. Inner piece is natural in colour with purple and black stripes near edges. Decorated at the ends with multi-strand cotton in a chain-like furcate stitch across the piece.

Woman’s unlined, untanned goat hide cape (raw hide on one side, and coarse, long, off-white, slightly wavy hair on the reverse side). The body of the cape is roughly U-shaped, with unfinished edges; on each side edge, the cape is pieced with small rectangular strips. The top edge of the cape is slightly curved, and a triangular flap of goat hide is attached at each upper corner. A length of brown braided cord connects the two flaps, and there is a piece of twisted brown and off-white wool fibre loosely looped over this cord. On the hide side, three narrow strips of hide are sewn to the top edge, with the hair side facing outward.

A long length of alternately woven brown and beige wool consisting mainly of a rope that is round in cross-section. A wider pouch-like section has been woven in approximately half-way through its length. One end of the rope has a loop woven in while the other is frayed and appears to have had a loop ripped off.

Brass-coloured tweezers made of two arms brazed together at one end and expanding to a broad flat set of jaws at the other. A broad disc of brass has been left on each arm approximately halfway down their width and decorated with incised designs or spots and swirls. A ring has been secured around the handle end.

An ornamental metal disc welded in four places to attach two bars to the back. From the lower bar a small rectangular box, 6.5 cm. by 2.5 cm., is hung by a cloth strip. The box has loops at the bottom and from these, there are hung three strips of red cotton, one of which has been doubled the full length. These are strung with cowrie shells and the cloth is knotted at the ends.
