Square silk panel with embroidered theatre scene. In the forefront of the scene five figures in elaborate clothing dance, some wearing headdresses and holding weapons. Behind them is a group under a canopy with a central male figure sitting on a throne, surrounded by five other figures. A border of flowers and insects separates this scene from a smaller one above, where a flutist sits inside a structure, with another figure and animals standing on the outside. Mountains can be seen in the background. To the left of this scene is a dragon, and to the right, a bird, possibly a phoenix. The background of both top and bottom scenes is embroidered entirely with metallic gold thread. This panel is sewn into a blue silk fabric frame, lined on the back with dark blue cotton. A paper label on the front bottom left corner says “Theatre scene wall hanging...” Colours are blue, gold, green, red, brown, light brown, purple, pink and yellow.
Two orange embroidered panels, mounted onto vertically rectangular blue panels, stitched together. The embroidered images on the orange panels are virtually identical, but reversed.

The two creatures are accompanied by a gold and blue cage-like structure, foliage, flowers, and decorative motifs. The orange panels have a thin blue and white boarder slightly inset from the edges. The blue mounting panels have a pattern in the weave of the cloth. The blue panels are attached by wide stitching at top, middle and bottom. They are backed by green cotton sewn onto each side separately.

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.

Children's drawing on legal size off-white paper. An undulating and predominantly blue band crosses the page diagonally, from the upper left to the lower right. This band likely represents a river, and there are five human figures floating in this river. Below the river, the word "Honduras" has been written in pencil and there are also four human figures that have been coloured green. Two green trees have been drawn above the river, along with two human figures that have been coloured pink. Above the larger of these pink figures is a green helicopter being flown by a single pilot. The upper left-hand corner contains an inscription that reads "Dibujo del Rio lempa? ¿como era la vida en El Salvador? ¿como es la vida en los campamento". The upper right-hand corner contains the words "el salvador".
Silver-coloured metal pin with disc-shaped finial. The pin tapers from a flat, wide head to a cylindrical, pointed end. The finial of the pin has scalloped edges and set glass pieces on either side. One side has been ornamented with a red, translucent glass circle that has been carved as a flower with six petals. The other side has been ornamented with a green, translucent glass circle, and an incised design of two leaf shapes edged with small circles and straight lines can be seen through the green glass. Incised, tight zigzag lines have been engraved around the set pieces of glass to resemble leaves, and this leaf pattern extends part way down the shaft of the pin.
Children's drawing on legal size off-white paper. An ink inscription in the upper left-hand corner reads "Juan Antonio gallegos - posada del rio lempa". The words "y rio sampal" have been crossed out. An orange diagonal line crosses the page from the inscription in the upper left corner to the right side of the page. There are four human figures connected to this orange line. Their arms are raised above their heads and it appears as though they are using it to cross a river below, represented by a diagonal band drawn in pencil that crosses the page from the upper right corner to the lower left. Below the river is a small green house filled with nineteen human figures. A short green path leads from the house to the edge of the river. A large soldier figure in green, along with two helicopters drawn in pencil, are shooting at these small human figures. Another path drawn in pencil leads down from the house towards the bottom of the page. The back of the page contains another inscription that reads "tiraban bombas y granadas y muerteros la gente enlos Oyos y en los Sanjones unos caminando para los en mandes unos perdidos en los Sanjones".
