A fragmentary slit tapestry border in two reds and yellow with attached fringe. The main band has interlocking red and yellow serpent bodies with serrated edges and black outlining. Narrow bands with interlocking hooks in red and light red are sewn to both sides and a separately woven red fringe is attached to one outer edge. More coarsely woven than most. Very thick warps of fringe are replied z after z-spin and 2 ply s.
An irregular cut piece of natural brown cotton with red and brown deer arranged alternately in a rectangular grid. The grid is defined by alternating red and brown lines in warp and weft directions. The deer is shown in profile, with tail, two antlers and a speckled body. Two original edges remain: a warp selvedge with heading cords and a weft selvedge that appears to be hemmed with ancient thread. Z-spun single in warp; s-spun singles in weft; z-spun, singles in weft; z-spun, two ply alpaca yarns.
Brown and off-white woven textile with interlocking birds, hooks and triangles arranged in diagonal rows. Textile is rectangular with one weft selvedge edge and three cut edges. Z-spun, 2 plied s yarns.
Fragment of painted, plain weave cotton. The major motif is a frontal human with crescent shaped headdress. This figure is repeated in diagonally arranged squares. Adjacent diagonally stepped registers contain zigzags. A secondary motif of repeating profile birds occurs in a wide diagonal register between registers with zigzags. The original colours appear to have been red, blue and several shades of brown.
Two rectangular textile fragments of yellow and white slit tapestry with design bands separated by horizontal stripes (part a and b). The major design band, which appears on both fragments, is a series of chevrons with avian-feline(?) composites, triangles and interlocking spirals in adjacent chevrons. Part a, the larger fragment, also has a band of profile birds and another of interlocking spirals. A separately woven fringe is sewn to the warp selvedge. Fragments of blue sewing thread remain on the single weft selvedge.
Two irregular cotton fragments, with negative designs in medium brown on a light brown background. Part a, the larger of the fragments, has at least six different rectangular designs repeat in oblique rows: two faces with coronas, two bird designs, one interlocked serpent and one triangulated design that appears to incorporate the bird tail. The rectangles are divided by longitudinal bands with variations of step-frets and serpent related imagery. The short transverse bands have a similar array of motifs that also repeat obliquely. A small segment of weft selvedge remains and is paralleled by a border of step-frets. Part b is of the same cloth as part a, but has another bird design and another face. Z-spun, two-ply yarn.
Two cut fragments (part a and b) of brown cotton weave of approximately the same size. Each rectangular piece has two brocaded composite motifs with bird, serpentine and humanoid characteristics. One edge on each piece has a tubular woven border with fish motifs.
Rectangular piece of plain weave cotton with painted designs. The major figure is a human with two pronged headdress holding a plaque-like object. A profile bird hovers by the figure. Step frets fill adjacent registers. Red background, now very faded, and blue figures are outlined in thick brown lines with interior detailing in white. Parts of one warp and weft selvedge remain. The other edges are cut. The backside of the band is undecorated.
Smoothly finished, rectangular bone balance with two sets of seven punctuated and recessed circles on both of the wide, flat sides. Traces of red pigment remain on one of the end circles. Each of the short, skinny ends has a hole drilled with fragments of fibre twine in them. One hole is drilled through the width of the bar in the very centre. The two other holes are symmetrically placed at the ends and run obliquely from one narrow edge to the adjacent narrow edge.
