The biggest bowl, 8 in. high and 6 in. in diameter, shows a bird with animal legs and a mane. Other bowls are lively with prancing unicorns, bulls, rams, eagles, fish, a warrior in chain mail holding two leopards by their necks. The diggers turned up gold jewelry and gold household and toilet articles (ear cleaners, tweezers, needles), stone maceheads, terra-cotta figurines, a marble sword hilt inlaid with gold and lapis lazuli.
