styles, some of them massive fibula)
of wrought gold, like thoste' worn
by the heralds sent by Kuig Koffee
to treat with the hnclisn com

according to the office of the wearer.
That of tlje kind's chamberlain, for
example, is distinguished by padlock';
and keys; the butler s by cups ana
bowls, all of solid metal, and for
the most part, castings ot exquisite
design.
In addition to these great badges,

of pure gold, there are fetish caps
ornamented with gold in repomue
work, the, golden tops of nmbre,llas
and sticks of ofiice, grotesque lions
for the Heads ot sceptres, golden
jaw bones, thigh bones, and skulls,

and insubordination. When, bow
