To one of these is attached by corrosion an [C] object of silver apparently containing a cockle shell [D]; the cockle shell has in it green pigment and was covered by a silver shell (broken) thus: [drawing] though it is impossible to say whether the shell is really belonging or only accidentally attached.

8008	(none)	(none)	B16815	Lapis lazuli beads. A great number, all small, some minute. With lapis spacers for 3 parallel strings.
8006	(none)	(none)	B16889	Cylinder seal. Lapis lazuli. 2 registers: above, 2 seated figures, table and door. Below, 2 animals? Very deep cutting and most primitive style.

8002	(none)	1928,1009.68	(none)	Gold and lapis chain. A very fine chain of gold wire links. Six lengths of chain connecting 5 double conoid lapis beads. The chain is square in section.

Below: banquet scene; 2 seated figures drinking through tubes; attendant behind one, design like a hatched shield.
7963	(none)	1928,1009.103	(none)	Beads. Mostly small ball beads of gold (thin leaf over copper), lapis, and a few carnelian (some rings). Apparently forming a single necklace, or two of the same pattern; one gold bead to every 1 or 2 stone according to size. Most of the gold beads were destroyed through the decay and swelling of the copper cores. One string containing the best gold beads made up for exhibition.
7962	(none)	(none)	(none)	Beads of lapis, carnelian and gold, and one agate. Double conoids of different sizes, and 2 large gold-plated ball beads. 34 gold beads in all. There was evidence that these formed a separate string, stone and metal beads strung alternately.
