[Begonia flower with pattern]

The head flower is made of silver-plated gold material as the base, which is inlaid with emerald, and is decorated with jade in the form of begonia flower
Diancui is an ancient traditional craft in China. It is made by pasting the feathers of kingfisher on the metal base made of gold and silver. Because the feather is soft and fine, and the color will not fade for a long time, although hundreds of years, the ornament will still be as bright as before. This headdress with emerald begonia pattern is pasted with emerald blue bird feathers, and contrasts with the begonia flower made of white jade. It highlights elegance in simplicity, and has special charm in common. It should be a headdress loved by the imperial concubines of the Qing Dynasty
