The collection also featured other motifs like the terracotta army and Chinese cinema influences.\u003cbr\u003eCraftsmanship: The piece is described as having detailed gold-tone metalwork, encrusted with crystals, and finished with enamel in shades of green, pink, and yellow, characteristic of the high-quality craftsmanship of the Métiers d'Art collections. The items are often made with glass, enamel, resin, and crystal components, and some are hand-painted.\u003cbr\u003eAuthenticity: The item is marked with the \"10 A\" date code, which is an authenticity stamp indicating the 2010 Autumn collection.
