Fourteen amulets glazed in bright turquoise blue are arranged in two columns. Top left is a rounded animal head, followed by four haunches with bent joints. Nine bird figures with rounded bodies and fanned tails follow. Each object features a glossy, finely pitted surface with slight wear on its edges. The collection is displayed on a white background and labeled with black decimal numbers from .1 to .14.
