This poncho consists of two rectangular woven pieces that are sewn together at the top with light green yarn. The opening for the neck is edged with white-grey yarn. The main design consists of broad, dark orange stripes alternating with broad, multi-coloured stripes. The bottom edge has been finished with a narrower multi-coloured stripe. There is a short fringe along all edges of the poncho that is approximately one centimeter in width.
A multi-coloured, rounded, tightly woven basket bag with four braided straps. The base colour is yellow-white, which is the colour of undyed cabuya fibre. The bag has been decorated with eight vertical columns of multi-coloured horizontal stripes and diagonal lines which combine to form stacked diamond shapes, open on one side. Near the bottom of the bag is a horizontal row of arrow shapes in various colours. The straps of the bag are thicker at the base, and they taper to fine points. Two of the straps are braided with purple, orange, and yellow-white. One of the straps is yellow-white, black, and pink-orange. The final strap is pink, orange, yellow, and yellow-white.
This is a multi-coloured, rounded, tightly-woven basket bag with four braided straps. The design on the bag consists of a repeating horizontal pattern of elongated trapezoidal shapes (parallel top and bottom lines with diagonal sides). The top edge of the bag has been finished with light purple fibre. The straps of the bag are different colours. They are thicker at the base and taper to thin ends.
This poncho consists of two rectangular pieces of tightly woven, heavy black cloth sewn together along the top edge, with a gap for the neck opening. The outside edges and neck opening have been embroidered. The outside edge of the poncho has been finished with a black velvet-like fabric which has been attached to the poncho with a sewn, interlocking spiral pattern. This pattern consists of white-grey interlocking spirals, followed by a line of small purple spirals, followed by a line of small orange spirals. The neck opening has been embroidered with a white-grey, interlocking spiral pattern which is bordered on the outer edge with a line of small purple spirals. Each corner of the neck opening contains one embroidered flower design made from light green thread. In addition, the four corners of the poncho contain embroidered flower designs made from this same light green thread.
Gold-coloured metal straight pin. The shaft is wider at the top, near the finial, and it tapers to a thin end. The finial has been made from a coin. The obverse side displays writing around the edge: "BOLIVAR LIBERADOR". The reverse side displays writing as well: "Republica 25 CENTIMOS 1960 CR125 (illegible) 835 (illegible)".
Tarnished metal spoon converted into a straight pin with a spoon-shaped finial. The shaft of the pin tapers to a thin point. On either side of the neck, thin metal wire has been added to form three small loops on each side of the shaft. The neck of the shaft, just below the bowl of the finial, has been incised with curvilinear lines. The edge of the spoon-shaped finial displays radiating incised lines. The incised design in the bowl of the finial resembles a flower with short, rounded petals. This flower design contains a cross-hatched centre, with small dots in each of the cross-hatched spaces. The top of the flower has been embellished with three leaves.
Silver-coloured metal straight pin with a flat, circular finial. Small circles of coloured glass have been set within the finial. There are five pieces of red glass, six pieces of green glass, and two pieces of blue glass. There are five semi-circular protrusions around the finial with holes holding coloured glass. The hole at the top of the finial is empty. In the centre of the finial, five of the holes are slightly larger than the others and appear to form a cross shape. The surface of the finial, on both sides, has been incised with simple geometric patterns. The neck of the pin has been flattened, and a hole has been drilled into this flat protrusion.
Silver-coloured straight and cylindrical pin with a circular finial created with sixteen ray-like protrusions. The front of the finial contains a piece of cylindrical blue glass(?) that has been set in the centre. Each ray-like protrusion has an incised face composed of eyebrows, eyes, and a mouth. Elongated, abstracted bodies continue down from each face to connect with the blue glass in the middle. Small holes within the metal of the finial (in the shapes of circles, triangles, and larger circles) work to define the bodies of the small figures. The top of the pin, where the shaft meets the finial, contains a raised and incised representation of a plant or fruit. At the back of the finial, the top of the pin shaft has been flattened and shaped into a loop. Through this loop, a think metal wire has been attached and it has been formed into two loops. A long, tarnished metal chain has been attached to these loops on the back of the pin.
A ceramic representation of a man wearing a "crazy cow" costume (vaca loca), and dancing at a local fiesta. The male figure is wearing a dark pink hat with a black stripe, a yellow cape with roses, and purple striped shirt. He is only wearing the costume from the waist down. The costume is light brown and yellow-white, with a cape of dark purple with pink flowers. A curved piece of metal wire has been inserted into the clay to create the appearance of reins around the neck of the cow.
A ceramic representation of a woman spinning cotton. The female figure is holding a wooden stick with a piece of unprocessed wool on the end.

She has bare feet and red bands around her wrists. The figure's light brown hair is tied back with a broad band of light yellow with light brown horizontal stripes.
