Jewellery gilded, with black outlines, set with bright scarlet, blue, and copper-green stones, and hung with strings of pearls. Tiara consists of gilded circlet with ball over forehead supporting Dhyani-buddha and high gilded ornaments at side ; but within it rises further a tall cylindrical head-piece in dark pink and green enclosing hair which overflows in a top-knot (almost effaced).
