Large, flat mask made using a wooden frame. Frame formed using a long, arching piece of wood, which is attached on either end to a shorter, straight piece of wood. Weaving is mounted within the frame. A very thin piece of wood or plant material is used to divide the centre into an hourglass-like shape, as well as give the piece two circular eyes, and a small fish(?). The eyes, fish and sides are filled with clay painted grey and black, with geometric designs on the sides. Extending out from the arch of the frame, and down from the straight edge is long fringe, created by knotting the fibre along thin plaited straps, which are then attached to the frame.
Woven bag composed of a long rectangular panel, folded almost in half, and then stitched up the sides. The bag is woven with a geometric design. There is a long woven strap attached at the lower edge of the bag's opening.
