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.

A fan of woven straw in twill weave, shaped like an inverted heart, with a tubular bamboo handle that has a split 10.8 cm. long to allow for the insertion of the fan. The handle is painted (?) with a mottled brown pattern, perforated near the butt end and held in place with a nail. The straw is purple, blue-green, and natural colours, woven in geometric design, finished with a band of braided straw sewn with unspun linen (?) thread around each side.
The head cloth is long and narrow with a geometric pattern and long fringe. The pattern shows the same bipedal figure repeated six times in shades of brown, red, yellow and green. At both ends there is a band of diamonds in a diagonal pattern, followed by a section of tightly woven rows leading to a long multi-coloured fringe.
Textile with multi-colour stripes alternating with bands of geometric shapes in black and white. Each group of stripes is separated by bands of brown. The warp ends are finished by folding and machine stitching. One weft selvedge has all the thread floats from one colour area to the next.
Irregular, openwork piece of light orange cotton with designs of frontal human figures repeated in horizontal rows. In adjacent rows, the figures are in alternate alignment to allow closing spacing. The figures are shown with headdress and tunic with arms outspread. The background mesh is constructed on spaced, paired warps in a combination of weaving and knotting. The figures are embroidered in two thicknesses of cotton threads. Parts of one warp and weft are present.
A complete sheer head cloth constructed from two loom widths. Zigzag lines in alternating dense and open fabric cover the entire head cloth. Woven in a complex gauze weave on fine, tightly spun, white cotton yarns. The crepe-like texture of the head cloth results from the tightly spun, single ply yarns.
