Figure has two thick legs above tiny feet, a long torso and chest, and a small face with thick heavy brown hair high at top and falling down the back and sides past the shoulders. Large orange beads are added to the hair at the sides. A fringe of red and white wool falls from the face, and a plant fibre loin cloth is attached through a hole in the figure at midpoint and by a belt around the waist.

Belt made of wood, shells and plant fibre. Wooden base is long, thin and curved, with all the bark removed, and loops carved at each end. Around middle between the loops the wood is covered in a dense weaving of plant fibres which serve as anchors for a line of upright shells that run the length of the piece along its top edge. Shells increase in size from ends to centre. Each is round, with concentric circles making up the interior structure. Cortex colouring is a white base with orange to dark brown dots.

The body of the cape contains double strands of long black fringe widely spaced, amongst a light covering of feathers and down. The back is undecorated. At top corners are attached twisted ropes of plant fibre, with a smaller piece at bottom right.
