They are the ornaments on the pearl blanket of the Nanyue King. Originally, a bubble-shaped gold ornament with patterns, a bubble-shaped gold ornament, a silver shell ornament and a glass shell ornament formed a rhombus on the pearl blanket. However, since the blanket has rotten, only these ornaments are left. The bubble-shaped gold ornaments have delicate designs and processing. The gold threads and beads are firmly welded on the surface of the ornament, which show a very delicate craftsmanship.
