Small gold ring has a thin narrow band soldered at mid back. The head is a thin, flat oval with an embossed image of a walking goat (?) looking back over its shoulder, surrounded by tall foliage. An engraved border encircles the edge of the oval.
Small gold ring has a thin narrow band soldered to one side. Band thickens slightly and widens at head into a long oval, with a small, facetted dark blue stone embedded at centre.
Small gold hoop earrings, somewhat mismatched, both slightly oblong in shape, one (part a) to the sides, the other (part b) in length. Hoop thickness is larger at the bottom, narrowing toward the top. The closure is a small loop that is fastened to one end, with the other end thinned and curved up and back into a hook that fits into the loop. Earrings are undecorated.
Dagger and sheath. The knife (part a) has a shiny steel blade, gently curved at bottom, ending in a sharp point, and with a central spine on both front and back. The hilt is made of horn, with a wide pommel narrowing to a thin grip. Two round brass seals decorate the pommel front and are attached by nails that pierce the horn and emerge from the back. Small metal protrusions embellish the front of the hilt as does a bottom encircling band. The sheath (part b) is made of yellow leather covered with thin strips of brown leather. Lines of small holes and incised ‘x’ shapes decorate the yellow leather. The main portion is slightly curved to accommodate the dagger’s blade, while the bottom turns dramatically upward. Red fabric lines the opening of the sheath.
Long, rectangular tapa cloth densely covered in triangles, scalloped circles, oblongs and other shapes in regular repeating patterns, inside a dark interior linear border. The outer boarder is a regular pattern of small ovals enclosing sets of triangles. The decoration is printed in dark brown and black on a natural background.
Ceramic figure of a man sitting on a tree stump, wearing a white-grey robe with a crackled surface, open to show his chest and belly. He holds an open fan in his right hand, resting it on his knee. Brown boots encase his feet and an elaborately tied brown scarf covers his head. His face is covered by a beard and mustache, and lifted brows top wide open eyes.
