| Reverse description | The reverse displays vibrant polychrome coloring applied over the mask-shaped flan, featuring an elaborate composition of stylized feathers, floral blossoms, and ornate baroque scrollwork. Colors include vivid pink, magenta, yellow, gold, purple, and white, evoking the flamboyance of the Venetian Carnival. Swarovski crystals are set within the floral elements, adding dimensionality and brilliance to the design.
