The ornament features intricate designs and patterns made from various stones, including turquoise, coral, and other precious gems. The stones are arranged in a symmetrical pattern, with concentric circles of stones in shades of blue, green, orange, and clear. The stones are set in a gold framework, with gold filigree details throughout. A symmetrical design of two birds facing each other, made from coral, blue, and green stones, is at the top. The background of the image is gray. Crown Ornament for a Deity, likely created by Tibetan artisans.
