Tightly woven oblong bag gathered and tied at the top with a braided rope. The base colour is the natural dark yellow-white of the cabuya fibre. The bag displays a design of vertical columns of colour with horizontal arms coming out from each side of the columns in a stripe pattern. Three horizontal rows of colour (black, dark yellow, and pink) encircle the opening of the bag. The rim is edged with braided cabuya fibre rope with loops. The loops were added to hold the multicoloured, partially twisted and partially braided strap.
The top and bottom edges of the belt are dark yellow with a thin red pin stripe through the centre. The design of the belt consists of pre-Columbian and Christian images in red, with pink negative space. Two vertical lines separate each image. There is also text along a portion of the belt: "ZHC, CAMAR ECUADOR, ANO de 1970, JHS, 10 de Abril, JHS". One of the ends still supports the original fringe. Red and pink cotton ribbon has been attached to the other end, in what appears to be a later addition. The ribbon has been sewn together with a white plastic button.
Dark red belt with green border along the top and bottom. The wool is tightly woven.
A multi-coloured, bowl-shaped, tightly woven basket bag with four braided straps. The base colour of the bag is the yellow-white of the undyed cabuya fibre. The bag has been decorated with an irregular geometric pattern composed of rectangles and horizontal lines. Two of the braided straps have been composed of undyed cabuya strands and brown cabuya strands. The other two braided straps have been composed of undyed cabuya strands and dark pink cabuya strands.
Silver-coloured straight pin with a tapering shaft. The pin has an oval finial that is narrower at the top than at the base. A piece of round, green, translucent stone or glass(?) has been set in the middle of the finial. There is an incised scallop design around the edge, with small incised circles between each scallop. A leaf shape comprised of small incised circles surrounds the green stone, and a series of dots and lines fills in the space between the leaf shape and the stone.
A straight pin made of a gold-coloured metal with a set glass piece or gem. The pin contains an oval-shaped finial created with twelve scallop shapes along the edge. The glass piece (or gem) is set in the finial. A zigzag pattern of incised lines radiates out from the finial centre to each of the scallop edges. These lines continue across the neck of the pin and part of the way down the shaft. This pattern can be found on both sides of the pin.
The handle of the whip is made out of wood and it has been capped in metal sheeting at the ends. There are also five metal bands along the shaft. The metal ends and the bands have been secured with three small nails in each. The bands and one of the ends have been perforated with small holes. The top end of the handle has been fitted with a metal ring that supports a short and tightly braided leather loop. There is a hole through the metal tip at the bottom of the handle and a leather strap has been attached through this hole. The leather strap, the stock, supports a long length of tightly braided leather rope. This leather rope, the thong, ends with a small fringe. It has been twisted, the leather has stiffened, and it will no longer straighten.
A wooden staff with six metal bands along the shaft and tipped metal ends. The tip of the staff is pointed. A metal wire extends through a hole in the staff near the top, above the second metal band. This wire secures two metal coins and a metal hook/clasp that has been hinged and shaped to rest flush against the cylindrical shaft. There is a coin on each side of the staff, both read "Republica del Ecuador". There are also some short decorative ribbons located at the same point as the coins and clasp. There is a cotton ribbon striped dark yellow, blue and red and wool ribbons in blue, green, and red.

One strap has been braided with black and undyed strands of cabuya fibre. One strap has been braided with yellow and undyed strands of cabuya fibre. One strand has been braided with pink and undyed strands of cabuya fibre. The last strap has been braided with orange and undyed strands of cabuya fibre.
A rounded, multi-coloured, tightly woven basket bag with four braided straps. The bag has been decorated with four vertical, overlapping columns of stacked, multi-coloured lozenge shapes.

One strap has been braided with dark orange and undyed strands of cabuya fibre. The fourth strap has been braided with light orange, dark orange, and undyed strands of cabuya fibre. The straps are thicker at the base, where they attach to the basket, and they all taper to thin ends.
