Diamond-shaped, decorative hood for a horse, densely embellished with embroidery that the black cotton background textile is all but obscured. The embroidered design is laid out on a grid of squares, with alternating mirrors and floral motifs in the cells of the grid; pompoms and glass beads are scattered through the design field. Two large, circular openings near the top of the piece are bordered with rows of mirrors alternating with circular embroidered motifs. There is a similar border of mirrors and circular motifs around all four edges of the piece. Fragments of fibre tie cords are attached to the top corner and at the sides, near the circular openings. There are remnants of a fringe of clear glass beads on all four edges. The piece is lined with red, white and black machine printed cotton textile, which has come loose in many places. Overall colour is maroon, lilac, black and gold.
Small, square, embroidered textile, made of red cotton broadcloth, decorated with large, circular motifs and border designs. There are four large, circular geometric motifs arranged in a four-cell grid at the centre of the piece. Each of these motifs has eight “arms” in red, dark purple, mauve, green and orange, outlined in yellow. The cells of the grid are delineated with narrow, flat silver metallic braid with four small white buttons sewn where the grid lines meet the border. A meandering, multicoloured line forms a border around the central designs. The embroidery is worked in chain stitch. Flat silver braid is couched around all four edges, surrounded by two rows of red and blue glass beads. One yellow bead is sewn to one edge. The piece is lined with red and white paisley-printed cotton textile, pieced at one corner with black cotton textile.
V-shaped, multicoloured, embroidered, decorative band. The 2 “arms” of the band are decorated with a repeated, square, embroidered motif, perhaps representing a natural object, such as an animal, bird or plant. All motifs are identical to each other in design, but differ in colouration. At the inside edge of the V is a strip (13 mm) of multicoloured, slanted Greek key motifs which has been embroidered onto an open-weave textile, then appliquéd onto the piece; the outer edge is finished with a narrow strip of black cotton textile. The lower edge of the V is finished with green commercially-made fringe (14 cm). The piece is underlined with pastel striped cotton textile.
Red cotton textile, embroidered with red, dark brown and yellow floral designs, mirrors and border motifs. There are three embroidered panels on the textile: a large band of embroidery is shaped like an elongated, inverted triangle, while the two much smaller panels are rectangular in shape, are located one of either side of the large panel, and are identical to each other. The embroidery designs on all three bands are composed of regularly-spaced, round, red floral motifs, each surrounded by a circle of mirrorwork. Each panel is bordered by narrow brown and yellow strips. The embroidery is so dense that it obscures the background textile.
Woman's small rectangular shawl, with white centre surrounded on three sides by rows of black cut work embroidery and white lace, with black and white lace edging.
