High-key object-documentation photograph, 16:9 landscape. One vintage papier-mâché carnival sun ornament, photographed before restoration: a round warm-yellow face with raised cheeks, closed crescent eyes and a broad sculpted smile, surrounded by short triangular rays. Large irregular paint losses reveal the beige paper substrate along several rays and one cheek; edges are worn, with no fresh repairs. Present it upright and straight-on, slightly left of center, against a seamless pale ice-blue background with generous empty space on the right. Bright diffused overhead light and gentle low frontal fill evoke footlights without harsh upward shadows. Cheerful expression, restrained museum-documentation styling, accurate color, entire object sharp, 70mm lens. One object only, no people, no tools, no comparison panels. No text, logos or watermarks.
