A photograph of an ornate jewelled object against a black background, shaped like a tapering conical crown or headpiece. Its surface is covered in closely set white diamond-like stones with bands of green and red gems and a single dark green stone near the centre, with gold-toned edging. The object is photographed with a reflection on the dark surface. No people are visible.

Two pairs of large ornate jewelled ornaments lie flat on a dark teal fabric surface. Each piece is a gold-toned backing with concentric rings of clear white stones, bordered by bands of green and magenta stones, with a large iridescent green central gem and a pointed top with a magenta stone. Small magenta stones flank the join between the two circles. No people are visible. The decorations resemble deity ornaments and are shown on a display surface.

The crown is decorated with gold embroidery, white seed beads, sequins, red and green beadwork, and blue and pink faceted stones arranged in flower and teardrop motifs against a dark maroon velvet base.
