A collection of gold leaf funerary fragments displays varied shapes and textures against a gray background. The upper grouping consists of overlapping thin strips and irregular pieces, some dark brown and heavily crumpled, others bright yellow and finely wrinkled. Below, three fragments sit horizontally: a wide, crescent-shaped piece with a jagged edge to the left, and two vertical rectangular strips to the right. The fragile surfaces shimmer with a range of lustrous, weathered metallic tones.
