Red lacquer ware plover (type of bird). The elegant, stylised shaping of this piece in the form of a resting plover, chidori, echoes its title as recorded on its storage box - kokoro no katachi, or heart-shaped. A fine line of gold makie decoration defines the wings, sweeping back to the tail, whose gentle rise is marked with a black lacquer flash. The organic dry lacquer form, at first sight simply elegant, reveals itself to be a series of complex, undulating shapes to capture and reflect the slightest light source. The item has a flat base with the painted on artist mark of Inoue Emiko. The item comes wrapped in a silk cloth with embroidered hearts on it, which is within a wooden presentation box decorated with Japanese text on the lid. The box is then tied together with purple string

Soapstone/steatite carving of a dragon and a phoenix amongst clouds with openwork design. The dragon's body forms the main body of the object; the dragon's head turns back and breathes out some smokes in the form of three pearls made with jade inlaid. On one side a phoenix is standing with one leg raised. The three pearls and the top of the object form a smooth fluctuation, suggesting that it might have been used as an arm rest. Under the base there is a incised production mark reading 'Jin Guoxing ke', which is the name of the carver.

Above is an irregular leaf shaped moulding with a large shallow bowl above. The bowl has incised decoration around the side, and four upright attachments of a probable original 6. The central part which fits above this is a hexagonal hollow box, the side panels of lattice work, and one with a catch and hinge to open as a door. The top part has a lower circular section with openwork around its top, then an upper section which is a large metal dome with a hexagonal lower edge. Each of the six ribs terminates in a dragon's head with a large curved tongue. Bells hang from loops below three of the heads, although it appears there would originally have been six bells. The finial is a separate piece which has an open lower section mounting a wooden pole on which a metal ball is fixed.

Relief fragment depicting the birth of the Buddha. Maya is the central figure of the relief but she is broken across both thighs. She wears a draped garment over the left shoulder and a scarf is placed over both upper arms and around her back. She is adorned with a plain necklace which hangs between her breasts. To her left is a fragmentary figure with only the head remaining. In similar pieces this figure has been identified as Mahaprajipati, Maya's sister. The hand placed just below Maya's left breast may be from the broken figure of Mahaprajipati. Maya's right arm is raised at a right angle and she holds the branches of a tree above her head. On this arm she wears two plain bangles on her wrist. The haloed infant Buddha emerges from Maya's right side with both of his arms resting on the large swaddling cloth held by Indra. Indra wears a cylindrical tiara or cap and earrings a leans forward to receive the infant. Behind Indra’s right shoulder stands another figure who in similar pieces is identified as Brahma. Brahma wears a robe over the left shoulder and is broken at the waist.
