She buries it in the ground.

She swallows it.

She loses it when she is knocked to the ground by Fiifi.

She gives it to Tansi so Tansi can hide it.

She drops it in the crowd of women.

She gives it to Tansi as a parting gift.

She is unable to dig it up, so it is left in the dungeons.

She tucks it into her wrapper as she is taken away.
