 earrings inlaid with a mosaic of turquois; gold amulet box (gau), the surface being 

 filled with a network of designs formed of gold filigree and inlaid with seven choice 

 turquoises of first quality; necklace composed of large turquois, amber and coral 

 beads; and silver chatelaine with ornamental halberd, toothpick, ear spoon, tweezers 

 and small brush (lost) for oiling the hair (see Jade, p. 203).
