Woven belt consists of yellow-brown and dark-brown plant fibres woven to form horizontal zigzagging lines. On top are two plaited, crossing cords which form four diamond patterns. This is bordered and interspersed by rows of threaded coix seeds. On the left-hand side is a tassel of ruddy-brown sago-leaf. The right side ends in a tightly braided loop, while the left connects to long woven braids of sago leaf. There are two loose ties where this long braid is woven into the patterned section.
Woven belt has ten rows of light and dark sago leaf strips that have been woven over the top of ruddy brown sago fibres, forming diagonal lines. Two criss-crossing braids of these three colours are attached above this, forming diamond shapes. One end is a thick braided loop, the other has three ties: a thicker, longer one in the middle that culminates in a knot and fraying strands (with two rubber bands around it); and two thinner, shorter braids that end in loops.
The main body of the belt is 11 cm high with twelve columns consisting of six horizontal painted stripes alternating between dark brown terracotta ochre and yellow-brown and white pigment(faded). This is surrounded by a border of ruddy-brown plaits with a broad loop on the left end and a tightly wound loop on the right that holds several braided ties, which may have been previously wound together, as one is thicker and made up of several braids and the others are single strands and somewhat frayed. Above the columns, two cords of ruddy-brown grass and two of dark brown and yellow-brown stripes, criss-cross to form five diamond shapes with incomplete ends. On top of these are paired lines of light grey seeds, one section is missing. Three narrow braided tassels with loose ends are attached to the bottom of the belt.
Two boar tusks tied closely together with rattan through small drill holes at both ends. The rattan at the root ends has some residual pigment or adhesive on it. There are two holes at this hollow end on each tusk which the rattan tie goes through.
Two boar tusks tightly bound together at the root ends with rattan through small drill holes. A 22cm-long string of sago leaf fibre with two knots passes through a drill hole near one of the tips. This section has broken off the other tusk which is missing one complete side from base to tip.
Two boar tusks tied together by twisted rattan, running through small holes drilled in the ends. The opposite ends of the tusks were also once connected by rattan, which has now come loose from one side.
Two boar tusks with small holes drilled through both ends. The root ends are tied together, 3.5cm apart, with a strip of sago leaf through single holes. The tips are tied together with rattan. Both tips are broken.
Two boar tusks are tightly bound with rattan through single holes drilled through the root ends; tips are held widely apart. They are dark in colour and show evidence of drill holes at ends.
Two boar tusks drilled at both ends, tied together through single holes at the root end with bast string. Two separate bast strings are looped through the holes at the tip ends, each knotted several times.
Pig bone nose ornament, noticeably wider at one end. A broad ring has been carved at centre, with long arches on both sides of the bone, forming ends that appear as crescents from the front or as arrow points from a top view. The bone has been polished.
