A silver and ruby forehead ornament sits at the brow, with matching drop earrings. The bust wears a layered gold temple-style necklace set with red and green stones and pearl drops over an orange-yellow silk garment. Yellow and white chrysanthemums, red roses and brown dried flowers surround the bust as garlands. No living people are visible, so this is a depiction, but the figure's identity cannot be determined from appearance and no printed name is shown.
