Oriental Egyptian Beauty wearing a 'Dragonfly Wing' skirt, a very popular motif of the period in fashion and jewellery. The terminology was Plique-a-jour (French for "letting in daylight"), a vitreous enamelling technique where the enamel is applied in cells, similar to cloisonne, but with no backing in the final product, so light can shine through the transparent or translucent enamel. Represented here in clothing form.
