4.8*4.2cmWt:21.7g

The brooch is built upon a mother-of-pearl base, with a flower basket mounted atop it. The translucent mother-of-pearl delivers distinct layers and strong three-dimensionality. The basket surface bears delicate hand-chased textures, including woven basketry patterns and petal veins, formed by artisans tapping point by point with chasing tools of varied profiles.
