Ornate gold ring encircling an engraved stone displaying a seal. The design in the stone depicts a horseman holding reins in his left hand, while his right hand supports a large bird. A small animal, perhaps a dog, runs beside the horse's feet. The green stone sits high, held in place by two gold posts on the top and on the bottom of the ring. A three-dimensional representation of a lion head can be seen on either side of the ring. The band of the ring is thick and decorated with lozenges.

Orange vertically rectangular silk panel with embroidery image, adhered to paper. The paper covers the entire back of the panel, and the front edges. Embroidery shows a human figure wearing a long blue robe with pants underneath, and a purple and green scarf at wrists and down legs. The figure also wears an elaborate headdress, and is barefoot. A peacock is behind the figure, with head to the left and tail feathers to the right. The two are surrounded by oval embroidered shapes on top and both sides. Couching in gold wrapped thread; embroidery in green, dark blue, light brown, brown, purple, light blue, gold and yellow.

Military rank badge. Square embroidered silk panel with both gold and silver couching. The central figure is a lion embroidered onto a separate piece of fabric and sewn onto the panel. The background is a sequence of semi-regular patterns with ocean motifs interspersed, such as sea creatures, a shell, plant life. A border edges the panel and has a repeating pattern. The panel is sewn to a plain blue silk backing piece. On the backing fabric, sewn to the lower right corner is a small paper with the inscription “Lion, Military official of the second rank.” Colours are blue, light blue, gold, black, green, orange, and a very pale light blue.
