At the edge of her dress one can see a small golden lizard – according to the Tales, Landlady was turning quite frequently into a lizard. Her crown is decorated with a diamond (.09 ct). Next to her you’ll find her Treasure Chest filled with precious Ural Mountains stones. The Landlady stands on a grass plot, made of green shiny uvarovite – found in Urals only.
