Hearst Museum object titled Amulet, accession number 9-22213a-c, described as Silver necklace with coral and silver beads and insets (a). The figure bears a vague likeness to the Chinese Kuan Yin, holding a vase. The characters on the right and left are probably meant to suggest sacred Buddhist Sanskrit (Lantsa) syllables. the central piece with the Kuan Yin is an amulet box. Inside is a paper use as a lining, with a fragment of Chinese and Tibet writing. On the bottom of the inside is a small painting on paper of a twelve armed God or Goddess. The outside is stamped with Chinese writing and bares a lable "Made in China". It is in a red jewelry case (b,c).

Pendant starting from a third hole in this amethyst ball: three-tiered amethyst slide of decreasing width on red braided cord which runs into a black cotton braided tape (11 cm long), its other end looped through an eye in a filt-bronze plaque holding an oval turquoise. As usual, the tape-ends are secured by winding tri-colored threads around them: white - light blue - navy blue - white. Under the turquoise another black tape (16 cm long). Then a silver(?) wire ring secured by a red cord, a small crystal bead and a tear-drop shaped piece of pink quartz capped by a brass(?) bell-shaped cover. Two shoulder pendants are left on this chain. Strung on blue cords and emanating from coin-shaped rings are ten or nine, respectively, corals, the final pendants a smaller version of the pink crystal chain pendant (here grenadine and emerald, respectively).
