This image, captured in the city of Phakeo, Laos, displays a detailed close-up of an embellished purple textile. The primary subject is a dense pattern of purple sequins and clear, spherical beads applied to a light purple fabric. A prominent, multi-tiered rosette formation dominates the center-left, constructed from solid purple sequins at its core, surrounded by concentric rings of purple sequins featuring iridescent light green-blue centers. Transparent beads extend outwards from these sequin clusters, forming raised, textured patterns across the fabric surface. Additional patterns of individual purple sequins, each with a green-blue center, and clear beads are distributed across the visible textile. Fine, gold-colored thread is interwoven with the beadwork in various areas. The background is heavily blurred, indicating other textiles in shades of dark purple, red, and gold-brown tones.
