And another thing . . .

I wonder about using this:

Quote:
RD-EX-25 <TN Cups and goblets did the king behold, and some had double bowls or curious handles interlaced, and horns there were of strange shape, dishes and trenchers, flagons and ewers, and all appurtenances of a kingly feast. Candlesticks there were and sconces for the torches, and none might count the rings and armlets, the bracelets and collars, and the coronets of gold; and all these were{ so} subtly made>
If I remember correctly, this is in TN a description of the gold after it has been fashioned by the Dwarves. It might be a suitable description of the treasure in its original state, but then again it might not. I would rather not add this merely for the sake of more vivid description.
