The Ark served as a holy archive for the safekeeping of sacred reminders or testimony, the principal contents being the two tablets of the testimony, or the Ten Commandments. (Ex 25:16) A “golden jar having the manna and the rod of Aaron that budded” were added to the Ark but were later removed sometime before the building of Solomon’s temple. (Heb 9:4; Ex 16:32-34; Nu 17:10; 1Ki 8:9; 2Ch 5:10) Just before Moses died, he gave a copy of the “book of the law” to the Levitical priests with instructions that it should be kept, not within, but “at the side of the ark of the covenant of Jehovah your God, . . . as a witness there against you.”—De 31:24-26.

Are you discussing the temporary one made by Moses or the one made by Bezalel?
The Ark could have contained, depending on what point in time we are discussing, 2 stone tablets containing the testimony or evidence of God's covenant with the Isrealites, a golden jar holding some manna from their wanderings in the wilderness, the rod of Aaron that budded, and the items that the Ark was wrapped in: a veil, a covering of Tachash skin (which is an unidentified animal, but the latest theories are it might be a sea cow or porpoise) and a blue cloth.
Rabbinic tradition states that Moses also put the broken fragments of the first tablets of the Law into the Ark.

Wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant, and the book of the law.
Deuteronomy 31:26 - Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee.
Hebrews 9:4 - Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;

Aaron's Flowering Rod of Almond, a golden pot containing preserved manna, and the two "Tables of the Law" (whether the smashed "originals" or the second set, or both, is unclear).
All presuming that the "Ark" is a genuine historical artifact. The description of the above items, of course, comes from the accounts in (primarily) Exodus and Kings.

The stone tablets of the Law. Aarons rod that budded. The pot of manna. Only three items not four. Unless you say that because there were 2 stone tablets there are 4.
