These artifacts were unearthed in great numbers from the No. 2 and No. 3 building sites to the west of the pond. The crystal pieces are presumed to have been used to decorate the gilt-bronze incarnate Buddha, the wish-fulfilling jewel cintamani, the canopy, and the aureola of the Buddha. In addition, there are necklace-shaped ornaments made of dark-blue and yellow glass beads.
