On the oaken counter you see some
gleaming silver plate etched with a charging lion, some
mismatched silver chain coated with tarnish and decorated with tiny rusted goshawks
hanging to form fringe, a polished
silver hauberk painted with the image of a pack of hounds following a mongoose,
a grey silk surcoat embroidered
in silver with a mongoose, a
black silk surcoat sewn with a screaming crimson goshawk, a
white silk surcoat with a sleeping golden lion crest and a
gold velvet lion doll with a fluffy mane.
