Two identical metal hanging decorations, titled "Keman (“Flower Garland” Temple Decoration)” by Niiro Chōnosuke. The objects are symmetrical, with a large circle forming the main body. Inside the circle are two metal lotus flower-like structures, one above the other. The bottom flower faces upwards and the top one faces downwards. There are three teardrop-shaped metal pieces pointing down at the bottom of the circle. The metal appears to be dark and weathered. The background is a light-colored wall with some darker spots and marks. The objects appear to be hanging from thin strings.
