Tassel of Emerald Fire

A highly symmetrical ornamental design unfolds around a slender central axis, with a broad, wing-like form above a tapering pendant and a small feathered tassel at the crown. Gold borders and bead-like terminals frame dense, flowing patterns in teal, ochre, cream, and red, recalling enamelwork, jeweled metal, and the sinuous botanical vocabulary of turn-of-the-century decoration. Set against a deep black ground, the piece reads as both a ceremonial pendant and an emblematic decorative object.
