The ring holder is a shallow silver dish with four upraised sides and a raised deity in the center holding a serpent in each outstretched hand. The earring holder is a shallow lidded vessel with a cloud-shaped design, a thin applied design to the top of the lid, and a small turquoise stone fashioned in the center.
