Nope, Alan cannot add much to this.

Tombak amulet is probably enough.

In Jawa you see lots of this sort of thing. This is the land of "Wastenothing", so if somebody can figure out a way to turn anything at all into money, they'll do it. Mostly you see these little pamor things in the street markets, along with magical agates & etc.
