A mid-20th-century 3D shadow box wall hanging featuring a central cluster of three large, deep red roses with textured yellow centres, flanked by oversized green leaves. The central arrangement is bordered by sprigs of smaller white, yellow, and red flowers with green foliage. The floral elements are constructed using hand-formed wire armatures filled with a translucent, glossy coloured resin or dip-it liquid plastic, creating a vibrant, jewel-like stained-glass effect. The piece is mounted on a light cream-coloured textile or paper background. It is housed in an ornate gilt-finished frame with a deep profile and scrolled foliate relief patterns, protected by a glass front. The reverse of the frame is papered with vintage Urdu-language newspaper clippings mentioning Mansehra and the Punjab Assembly, suggesting a Pakistani origin.
