Hand-painted fan with scene from opera on brown ground

Large flute in two pieces. Thin, carved, black, wood figure, with large winged bird on its head, has braids of plant fibre with shells and bone and a long, elephant trunk-like nose hanging down, and a long red and white tail. Figure's face is covered with tattoos in beige and red. The upper figure (part a) fits into the flute section (part b) which is a large piece of bamboo, with a large hole top and bottom, covered with carved and stained black designs, and with reed basketry at top and base.

Somewhat oval shaped, dark wood board with bamboo handle depicts a carved scene with cartoon word bubbles. Painted in yellow, white, red, orange and black, a female figure paddling in a dugout canoe is begging a large crocodile to let go of the other female figure it is holding. On the right is a wood hut and palm tree, in the water below are fish and more crocodiles, and in the distance is a blazing sun.

A loom (part a-d) with an unfinished woven wool textile consisting of white striped geometric pattern of circles, ovals and triangles on a dark green ground. The textile is attached to two large, cylindrical shaped wooden sticks (part a). Intertwined in the warp is one cylindrical shaped heddle covered in dark green twine; two bamboo sticks and three flat, rectangular battens with triangular, pointed ends (parts b,c,d).

The mask has two brown vinyl ears, a green yarn mane, and a neck composed of fabric with a pink, yellow, brown and white floral pattern on a grey background. The rump has a green yarn tail and a skirt of the same fabric as the neck that runs along the sides and back. Both are built out of papier maché with a bamboo frame and are painted green with black and white eyes, red lips with white teeth, and bands of red on the rump.

Rattan and bamboo(?) fan covered in small beads with dark green, yellow, blue, red, light green and navy designs on a white background.

The back of the fan is covered in pink, cotton cloth.
