Two trade mirrors, one slightly larger than the other, are set into one side of a soft red wood paddle shaped frame. The top portion has a cutout opening shaped as a ball with a pointed top. Below the mirrors is another opening carved into the shape of a pointed ovoid. The wood on this side of the frame is chip carved and incised with lines rubbed with red and black, many of which look like elongated leaves. Below the mirrors are two triangular shapes with two extensions on each one, resembling the heads of horned animals. On the reverse side of the frame, a creature is incised. Clearly a quadruped with a heart line, its horns are placed at the juncture of its head and neck, and its tail transforms into a thunderbird. Below this is an irregular rectangle in double outlines of red and green with a petal shaped form at each corner. At the center of this shape is a red complex form made of two chevron shapes joined at their central points. On this side of the object, the pointed ovoid opening is outlined in red and green incised lines with red foliate form at one end and another small pointed oval at the other. Below this is a simple form in red line that mimics the shape of the end of the stick-like leaf forms within.

Embroidered on the cover is a child wearing light green clothing, sitting on a brown chair surround by a large pink and purple flower with green leaves. The reverse has pink, green and white flowers with a white and black bird sitting on a large green leaf. The edges are bordered with small, white triangles.
Octagonal mirror with blue fabric adhered to it creating a border. The underside is lined with red fabric and decorated with glass beads. The central design is of green and white flowers alternating with blue circles and orange ovals. Along the edge are six butterflies. Hanging behind the mirror are two silk, thread tassels bound at the top with silver, gold and red metallic thread. Attaching all three pieces together is a yellow piece of twine that has a decorative knot in it. One tassel is green, the other fuchsia.
A mirror with a metalwork design in between the border of cloisonne pink-red and dark blue flowers on a light blue background. The back has a woven wire ground with insects, bamboo, flowers, and four characters in cloisonne. The characters are at each side, and at each end. There is a pierced white jade panel in the centre with a design consisting of a temple-like image over a character, with a flower and a dragon at either sides. Another jade pendant (part b) is hanging on one end with three humans on the front and four characters on the back. The metal handle on other end has a cloisonne design the same as the border.
