Textile Ornaments(?): Pair of Phoenixes
Golden pair of symmetrical phoenixes. The phoenixes are identical, one on the left and one on the right. They have a textured gold surface. The birds stand on one leg, with the other leg bent behind them. Their bodies are adorned with long tails and elaborate feathers. The phoenixes have large wings that are spread out to the sides. They appear to be made of metal. The background is black at the top and fades to gray at the bottom.
