Sorry about the poor image quality.     Hard to get the true colors to
show, also.
 
We have numerous pieces of what appear to be dessicated/curled
rubberized cloth??  Note 'weave' texture on piece in upper right (turned
over).
 
The outer surface was painted with bright colors in geometric forms;
solid pink in some portions, but then diamonds and bands of mottled
(leopard skin like?) yellow, brown, and some white...then other larger
diamond patches of tan background with white dots (mottled), with dark
green leaves (?) outlined in black in the center (?).  
 
Sound familiar to anyone?  Any ideas?

Were there rubber doll heads?  Or, rubber balls with faces on them?  We
have a dessicated, squished fragment of a face - that looks like it had
a 'bonnet' on...since there is a line bordering the face...rather than
hair.  ??  Sort of eerie to find this Looking at you when cleaning
artifacts.
 
Thanks for your help.
