Tsathogga’s Choice – from Table IV: 500 Gold Pieces
The Demon Lord Tsathogga (Bill Webb of Necromancer Games) selected this piece as his Choice. It is #34 from Table IV.
I understand one reason Bill picked this treasure is because it manages to have a lot of things of value, without needing to use any coins.

Editor's Note:The three-legged bronze cooking pot [31 gp] is decorated with images of geometric dancing beasts which might be horses, or could be something much more fanciful. Time has turned the pot the soft, mossy green of aged metal, and years of use and wear have obscured the once-impressive carvings. Lifting the pot’s lid, you are assailed by the scent of old rot and ancient spices. Inside, treasure is piled haphazardly. A blunt-tipped ceremonial short sword [192 gp] cast from solid silver and inscribed by entwined serpents rests atop a pile of musty and moth eaten green cloth. Beside the sword is a small leather bag [1 sp], tied with purple thread; opening the bag, you discover [and possibly prick your finger on] a set of a dozen golden fishhooks [4 gp each]. Beneath the leather bag, you find a trio of bronze brooches [30 gp each], each studded with a ring of tiny cowrie shell studs nestled together. A ceremonial ivory mask [136 gp] depicting a laughing young woman with diamonds painted on her cheeks in green lies at the bottom of the pot, wrapped in yellowed linen [1 gp]. Though cracked, the mask is still clearly valuable, and would be worth something to a collector. [Total 498.1 gp]
