I think I know the play pretty well, but I can't think of any "decoration" in Queen Gertrude's "closet" [her study and sewing room]. Maybe the question refers to these lines: "Look here, upon this picture, and on this, / The counterfeit presentment of two brothers." In these lines Hamlet refers to two pictures of two brothers: King Hamlet (Hamlet's father) and King Claudius (Hamlet's uncle). In performance, those pictures are sometimes represented as pictures on the wall of Queen Gertrude's closet, but they can also be represented as lockets, with Queen Gertrude's locket containing the picture of King Claudius, and Hamlet's locket containing the picture of his father, King Hamlet.
