Feather headdress. Black, white and small yellow and white feathers sewn onto a plain yellow-brown woven band of plant fibre (palm?). Tied at the ends with twisted thin cords.

Feather headdress. Predominantly black and red feathers on one side and blue feathers on the other side. Feathers are attached to a large woven cotton band; strings at ends.

Rattle made of six cones of tin attached to a wooden handle. The cones consist of different sizes, three wide and long, and three shorter and smaller in diameter. All are crimped at the handle, where they fit into a metal ring that joins them to the handle. Each cone widens toward the base. The larger three contain a wire hung with a metal nut as a clapper. The cones are decorated with circle and line motifs pressed into the tin. The wooden handle has an engraved line that spirals from end to end.

Rattle made of strands of plant material curved to form a handle, and then widening to form the bodies of two joined rattles. The same material is wrapped around the handle, and around itself at the base of the handle in order to hold the twin rattles firmly together. Intertwined between the strands on the rattles are strips of leaf (coconut?) in an open weave. Large round pieces of gourd form the base of each rattle. Inside are small white seeds that make a sharp noise when the object is shaken.

Necklace of cowrie shells with a gourd pendant. A double line of cowrie shells makes up the majority of the chain, strung on plastic fishing line. At the bottom are three pairs of shells interspersed with three strands of plastic beads in black red and white. A small brown gourd hangs below this, covered in a loosely woven covering of raffia, with a raffia tassel hanging below. The gourd is embellished with three evenly spaced decorations of a cowrie shell surrounded by a circle of beads.

Staff made of thick, stiff strands of dried grass, wrapped with raffia in an open weave to make up the handle. From the bottom protrudes a tuft of raffia, wrapped with a band of woven white fabric and grey plastic twine. Two circular patches of raffia are attached close to the base, topped with cowrie shells arranged in a flower motif. The top of the staff is covered in unbleached cotton, edged with two kinds of braided synthetic banding. Attached to the cotton are three small gourd rattles, also wrapped in open raffia weaving, each with a single cowrie shell and plastic bead decoration. Three lines of cowrie shells are glued to the cotton between the gourds.

Costume skirt made of long, plain strips of raffia hanging from a thin cotton waistband.

Filá headdress. Gourd headpiece, with hanging raffia cover. The half gourd is decorated with lace around its rim and across to the top centre where it wraps around a protruding lip. On the body between the strips of lace are woven circles of raffia beneath flower shaped arrangements of cowrie shells and plastic beads. Out the top protrusion emerges a stiff tuft of raffia held together by a wrap of grey plastic twine. From the lower rim of the gourd hang thick, metre long strands of raffia, entirely encircling the headdress so that the fringe hangs down evenly over the wearer’s front and back.

Pair of ear ornaments, each made from a single length of bamboo. A small piece of pointed wood protrudes from one end of the bamboo, where black, red and yellow feathers are attached.

Bark cloth costume with a round face gourd mask. The costume is narrow at the top (34 cm wide including ears), does not have arms or arm-holes, and the front opening is sewn closed with plant fibre. The head is lightly stuffed with newspaper. An oversized J-shaped penis attachment made of wood and wrapped in barkcloth is tied to the front of the costume. The circular face of the mask is framed with a bent stem tied on with grass fibres (19 cm in diameter). The face area is covered in a very dark brown paint or pitch and has projecting round eyes, a triangular nose and carved lips, with a round ear projecting out to each side. There is a faint painted circular design on the front side of the costume in orange and brown. The bottom of the pants is heavily fringed and is the widest part of the costume. The bark cloth ranges through three shades with the lightest used for the head, a light brown for the body and darker brown for the pants.
