This challenge is about fashionable treasures. Treasures can be many thing, especially fashionable ones. They can be animals which gives a higher status to a person owning one, or clothing that have been considered treasures, such as a king's rope, or the pope's hat. It can be accessories such as the amulet of a deity. It's up to you how you interpret this prompt.
Fashionable treasure can help you figure out more about what a society, a group, or even individuals values, how these treasures became fashionable, and how it affects relations - both trade-wise and environmental.
