An ornate, flower-shaped brooch is positioned centrally on a deep red, textured fabric surface in Phakeo, Laos. The brooch, crafted from gold-toned metal, measures approximately 5-7 centimeters in diameter and features a symmetrical arrangement. Its core consists of a cluster of faceted clear rhinestones surrounding a larger, iridescent central stone. Four spherical white faux pearls are symmetrically distributed around this central cluster. Outward from the pearls, the brooch incorporates enameled segments alternating in color between red with white edges and dark green with white edges, all framed by the gold-toned metal. Additional clear rhinestones are set in small, teardrop-shaped gold-toned mounts at the tips of some outer segments. The red fabric background exhibits subtle folds and a satin-like sheen. No individuals or actions are visible within the frame.
