Woven lacebark(?) bag. The bag is rectangular in shape, with the top slightly flaring out to the opening. Overall the bag is a light orange colour with diagonal bands of grey-green throughout creating a loosely plaid pattern. There are two thin straps attached at the top with tassels at each end.
Small rectangular tapa cloth. Completely covered in geometrical and linear patterns on one side. The repeated designs in black and off-white form concentric rectangles to the central red-brown solid rectangle which contains two star or flower designs.
Papermaking mould with a frame composed of four pieces of bamboo - two long pieces, each with two notches for the shorter pieces to be inserted into, creating a square. Each piece has been marked on the interior with a letter 'A' through 'D'. A mesh screen is strung into the middle with four ties along the long edge, and three along the short. The screen has folded and sewn edges, creating long pockets through which sticks are inserted giving the screen a frame. One stick is only partially inserted, leaving it overhanging from the screen.

Weaving attached to bars at the top and bottom with one bar, intertwined in the weaving, towards the bottom, and another attached to the back, towards the bottom. There are three removable swords (parts b-d) and one removable shuttle (part e) stored in the weaving, at the bottom. The attached bars are all made of bamboo. The shuttle (part e) and one of the swords (part c) are made of light yellow-brown wood, the other two swords (parts b and d) are dark brown. The shuttle has notched ends and is wrapped entirely in orange thread. The weaving on part a is orange and has rows of repeated designs across the entire surface. Row designs include: loose chevron pattern, tight chevron pattern, dotted squares, dotted lines, "X" design across length with squares in the negative space, and abstract "V" design across length with squares in the negative space. Designs done in indigo, red, yellow, black, green, dark blue, white and electric blue. Rest of weaving is incomplete and orange in colour, with loose strands of black and yellow throughout. Three metal rings attached to the top and bottom loom bars- one on the top, to the right of the weaving, and two on the bottom, on either side of the weaving.
