A single, ornate, brass-toned metallic ornament or brooch rests on a deep red, subtly textured fabric surface. The object exhibits an elaborate, symmetrical design incorporating stylized leaves with etched vein details, small six-petaled floral elements, and intricate swirling scrollwork. A prominent central cluster consists of approximately 19-20 small, round, faceted stones, predominantly clear or greyish. Additional similar stones are individually set within the piece, including along the upper edge in teardrop-shaped bezels, and within three distinct dangling elements with looped terminals at the bottom. A separate, flat, irregularly shaped metallic piece hangs from the lower-left aspect of the ornament. The metal displays a dull luster and areas of tarnish, indicative of age. No human subjects, actions, or interactions are depicted. The scene is located in Phakeo, Laos.
