A vertical silver hair ornament hangs from a top ring and extends into four tapered cylinders textured with spiraling ridges. Small chains suspended at intervals along the cylinders end in bud-shaped charms. These charms gather into dense clusters at the base of each section. The silver exhibits a muted metallic luster, accented by dark oxidation and tiny green spots tucked within the intricate, repeating patterns.
