Cloisonné enamel — jewel colors held inside gold wire cells.
Swatch shows the same line — Signal over noise — rendered in this material, so the surface is the only variable.
SURFACE: Every single outline in the image is a BENT BRASS WIRE (掐丝) standing proud of the surface — thin gilded ribbons set on edge, forming closed cells, with visible wire joins and tiny irregularities where the wire was pinched around a curve. Ground enamel is packed into those cells and fired - slightly granular, with a few small pinholes and bubble pits, and micro-variation in colour density within a single cell. Surface polished flush then buffed, so wires read as continuous gold lines and the enamel between them is glassy with soft depth. Gilded copper rims and a gilt base band. Palette - the classic 景泰 turquoise-blue ground with lapis blue, coral red, aubergine, white and moss green enamels, all separated by gold wire. Motif vocabulary - 缠枝莲 scrolling lotus, cloud scrolls, ruyi heads, a lotus-petal band at the bottom edge. Raking light so the wire relief casts hairline shadows and the enamel shows glassy depth. SKELETON: auto by page role (cover / chapter / list / compare) DEVICE: the page's argument drawn as a form native to this material END: Full-bleed 16:9 — render DEVICE on the SURFACE, per the page's composition. CRITICAL: title in clean legible English; NEVER invent extra words or non-English glyphs; annotations only as marks / numbers / dimension lines; no UI, no cards, no captions.
