9. The ninth treasure is nīlamaṇi m. ʻ sapphire ʼ Dhūrt. [nīˊla -- , maṇí -- 1 ]
Pa. nīlamaṇi -- m. sapphire ʼ, Pk. ṇīlamaṇi -- m.f., Si. nilmiṇa.(CDIAL 7565). The word also signifies S. nīru m. ʻ blue colour, indigo ʼ; L. nīl m. ʻ indigo ʼ, P. nīl, līl m., Or. nīḷā, (Sambhalpur) nirā. (CDIAL 7563). In the 8000+ Indus Script inscriptions deciphered, no evidence has been found of any inscription which signifies this wealth of sapphire gem or indigo colouring dye, as a treasure. If a hieroglyph signifies this treasure, it is likely to be a hieroglyph which signifies a 'standing' posutre as on Sign 1
There is a possibility that the ninth category of treasure may be signified by the semantics of śrēṣṭha श्रेष्ठः as a name of Kubera; if so, there is an Indus Script hieroglyph which signifies this word providing the meaning 'guild-master':
khāra 'squirrel', šē̃ṣṭrĭ̄ 'squirrel' Indus Script hypertext is khār 'blacksmith'śrēṣṭhin'guild-master' (Aitareya Brāhmaṇa). *śrēṣṭrī1 ʻ clinger ʼ. [√śriṣ 1 ]Phal. šē̃ṣṭrĭ̄ ʻ flying squirrel ʼ?(CDIAL 12723)

Aw.lakh. sēṭhi ʻ merchant, banker ʼ, H. seṭh m., °ṭhan f.; G. śeṭh, śeṭhiyɔ m. ʻ wholesale merchant, employer, master ʼ; M. śeṭh, °ṭhī, śeṭ, °ṭī m. ʻ respectful term for banker or merchant ʼ; Si. siṭu, hi° ʻ banker, nobleman ʼ H. Smith JA 1950, 208 (or < śiṣṭá -- 2 ?) (CDIAL 12726) I suggest that the šē̃ṣṭrĭ̄ ʻ flying squirrel ʼ? is read rebus: śeṭhī, śeṭī m. ʻ respectful term for banker or merchant ʼ (Marathi) or eṭṭhin -- m. ʻ guild -- master ʼ(Prakrtam)
The guild-master signs off on a long inscription by affixing his hieroglyph: palm squirrel,Sciurus palmarum'

शेव--धि śevadhi, sevadhi " treasure-receptacle " , wealth , treasure , jewel RV. &c;treasury , an inexhaustible quantity (of good or evil); one of the nine treasures of कुबेर (Monier-Williams) पद्मिनी is a magical art (Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa).
Kubera as Naravāhana, Tala, Chattisgarh. The Nara is shown as Kīrtimukha, an iconographic signifier of tiger's face:kola 'tiger' rebus: kol 'working in iron', kolhe 'smelter'. This tradition is traceable to Sarasvati Civilization with tiger hieroglphs and figurines. This indicates that Kubera's wealth or nine treasures are metalwork and lapidary categories.
Feline figurines with large round ears and beards may represent tigers or lions. They are often depicted either standing or lying down with their legs extended to one side.
Approximate dimensions (W x H(L) x D) of the larger figurine: 3.3 x 8.2 x 4.7 cm.
Tiger or leopard figurine with incised facial features, including punctated dots on the face that could be whisker marks. This figurine depicts a normal feline without horns or human face and therefore probably represents the actual wild animal. Hand formed with applique eyes.
Material: terra cotta

"A miniature mask of horned deity with human face and bared teeth of a tiger. A large mustache or divided upper lip frames the canines, and a flaring beard adds to the effect of rage. The eyes are defined as raised lumps that may have originally been painted. Short feline ears contrast with two short horns similar to a bull rather than the curving water buffalo horns. Two holes on either side allow the mask to be attached to a puppet or worn as an amulet.
Miniature Sharp Toothed Terra Cotta Mask"
"It has been suggested that some feline figurines have anthropomorphic facial features. While features such as "coffee bean" eyes are unusual, the facial features of many animal figurines are stylized. Such features as beards are not necessarily anthropomorphic features, but may represent either tigers’ ruffs or lions’ manes. Variations in facial features may represent differences in wild felines rather than anthropomorphization.
Anthropomorphic Feline Figurine"
