Several embossed brass or gold-toned metal panels lie flat on a grey, dusty stone or concrete surface. The sheets are worked with repoussé floral scrolls, leaf patterns, geometric borders and curved bird or peacock-like motifs. A thin cable runs across the upper left panels. No people are visible, and no a person candidate appears; the scene shows decorative metalwork.
