Hanging palm leaf decorations

Palm leaf decorations hang down above a veranda. Palm leaf segments are pinned with small sticks in a spoked wheel medallion with interior star pattern. Several plaited tails hang from the bottom of the center medallion. One decoration is clearly visible while a second similar one hangs in shadow at the right.Balinese use palm leaves, sticks, flowers and food to make a vast array of colorful decorations, many of which are created as temple or holiday offerings to please Balinese Hindu gods.
