Still nobody has given the right answer. I'm just going to give it away and end the misery.
It was The Lion-Headed Bracelet of Chandragupta. The legend involved a lion bowing down to Chandragupta, which was supposed to be a sign that he would be emperor.
I kinda figured my clue was a little vague, but I didn't expect that many wrong guesses.

So, I guess whoever wants to go now can have at it.
