| | grave goods | Explanation:
I've been chewing on this one, because something about it was niggling me. As I said, ajuar is used to describe the things that go alongside the body in the grave, as well as the other more common sense of stuff you take to your married life. A bit of googling has led me to grave goods, which I feel a lot more comfortable about. It's described in wiki, but I'm putting in a couple more references, because we all know that wiki isn't the last word on things always!
