Metalwares include a mesh purse with an embossed frame, a brass anchor inscribed Jan van Gent., a Bichot multi-tool corkscrew, and a vintage metal and glass medical syringe. Decorative pieces include an enamel cloisonné owl figurine, several turtle figurines in various materials, a small brown glass apothecary bottle, and four amber-toned resin blocks containing feathers. Additional items include a compass, a magnifying glass, a black horse figurine, and a wooden folding ruler showing imperial measurements.
