what were mraize's trophies in WoR

[Terrisman]

what was on the wall in the ghostbloods basement in WoR? i recognized the sand from White Sand, the golden hair from Warbreaker, and the knife from Shadows of Silence. but what were the rest of them? a pale pink crystal and an odd preserved flower

[Quantus he/him]

The pale pink crystal is a rosite Aether.  The Flower is theorized to be one of the Tears of Egli from Nalthis. The golden Lock is either a Royal Lock or maybe the Golden Hair of an Iriali (which is common on Roshar currently but potentially a bit special in the cosmere, if their legends of travels are true).

There are a number of threads discussing this, and not all of them have been figured out/confirmed. However, we know or suspect at least most of them. 

 WoR Ch 43:

The right wall had the greater number of trophies, including several enormous gemhearts. Those were, together, likely worth more than her father’s estates. Fortunately, they weren’t infused. Even uncut as they were, they’d probably glow enough to blind. There were also shells that Shallan vaguely recognized. That tusk was probably from a whitespine. And that eye socket, that looked frighteningly close to the structure of a santhid’s skull.

Other curiosities baffled her. A vial of pale sand. A couple of thick hairpins. A lock of golden hair. The branch of a tree with writing on it she couldn’t read. A silver knife. An odd flower preserved in some kind of solution. There were no plaques to explain these mementos. That chunk of pale pink crystal looked like it might be some kind of gemstone, but why was it so delicate? Bits of it had flaked off in its case, as if simply setting it down had almost crushed it.

Broken down:

2. That tusk was probably from a whitespine.
3. And that eye socket, that looked frighteningly close to the structure of a santhid’s skull. 
4. A vial of pale sand.
5. A couple of thick hairpins.
6. A lock of golden hair.
7. The branch of a tree with writing on it she couldn’t read.
8. A silver knife.
9. An odd flower preserved in some kind of solution.
10. That chunk of pale pink crystal looked like it might be some kind of gemstone

1. Likely Rosharan shells, but also possibly Sandling shells from Taldain
   • (megafauna are not Roshar exclusive)
2. Ditto above
3. Ditto 1
4. White Sand From Taldain
5. Likely (unconfirmed) Hemalurgic Spikes
6. Iriali Hair
7. Possibly a Tamu Kek (or maybe just a Fain Branch)
   • both are from Yolen and the non-canon Dragonsteel Prime
8. Threnody Knife
9. Likely Tears of Edgli from Nalthis, but also possibly Marewill Flowers from Scadrial
   • (no mention of the number of petals, the former has 5 and the latter only 3)
10. Roseite Aether
    • Called Amberite in the non-canon Aether of Night, but also from Tress (as spores) and The Lost Metal (Prasanva)

Hope that helps

Huh, never caught that. Maybe a Kandra Blessing?

That has been theorized (especially since it is shown as a "pair")

Would it be possible the flower is a blossom from Patji's finger? I have a vague recollection that it isn't easy to travel there for some reason but is it a possibility?

Good thought! Definitely possible since we have no identifying characteristics other than "flower."

Patji's Finger descrition was also sparce (SotD):

Spoiler

The tree was massive, with drooping fronds. At the end of each one was a large closed blossom, as long as two hands put together.
