A hanging ornamental canopy or decorative lantern-shaped object suspended from a white beaded chain against a pale turquoise wall. It has a dark blue velvet body embellished with gold zari braid, gold sequins, and red and green faceted stones, topped by a red velvet finial and a red velvet band at the base. Long strings of white pearl beads with red tips fall from the lower edge in tiered tassels. No people are present; it appears to be a decorative vahana-style or temple ornament displayed as a standalone item, possibly among pieces made at Sacred Arts University.
