Opulent Floral Wheel Headdress

A serene female profile rests beside an oversized circular headdress formed as a spoked wheel. Deep navy surfaces carry embossed motifs and are densely ornamented with vivid pink floral clusters, scattered gold studs, and bands of tiny beads. A central bronze medallion with radiating gold rays anchors the design, framed by concentric rings of pink. The composition positions the face on the right against a void black ground, its smooth skin and closed eyes contrasting sharply with the headdress’s raised textures. Soft pink blush and elongated lashes heighten the tranquil expression. Ornate dangling earrings with floral pendants and gold chains complete the silhouette. Dramatic side lighting accentuates every metallic ridge and petal while the palette of navy, hot pink, and burnished gold produces a mood of opulent, dreamlike formality. The work fuses Art Nouveau ornament with surreal sculptural invention.
