Large round woven basket or mat. Base is flat, with edge lifting slightly. Weaving incorporates dyed grass to create thick circles at centre in green, brown and black, diamond shaped patterns in four groups of two, interspersed with sets of dotted lines along the body of the mat, and encircling lines of green and brown at the rim. The circular patterning is seen on the underside of the mat, but not the diamond or dot patterns.
Large mask. A leatherette form fits over the head, and is covered with a thick pallet of sheep wool, a long red leather face emerging at centre. Face has a trunk-like nose painted with yellow, black and white stripes, and a long red and white tongue hanging below. A moustache of sorghum sits below the nose, with bean teeth attached. Goose feathers serve as large ears along the side of the head, and long black horns emerge above. Wool pompoms and bunches of pheasant feathers top the horns, and a wreath of ribbons and paper flowers span the distance between them.
