English description, ready for a prompt
a Ming-dynasty Chinese bridal phoenix crown (fengguan): a domed black lacquered gauze cap base covered with gilt-gold openwork, decorated with blue kingfisher-feather-style enamel clouds and flowers, small gold phoenixes on the top and sides each holding a short pearl string in its beak, rows of seed pearls, and a pair of pearl-strung wing panels (boyin) spreading from the lower back sides like broad fins, held in its worn shape as if on an invisible head, with nothing inside, no veil
