Let's look into the ornament:
拉開銅線之後，花片的整體結構就看得更清楚了：
The curved bronze bar is the main structure of the ornament, and there are six motif pieces soldered to the bar: a four-piece set above it and a two-piece set below. The sets are soldered alongside the bar (end-to-end) as a bottom layer, and they are the base of the ornament, as well as the foundation of the beading - there are nine loops on the connecting wire above the bar and the beading was secured in here.
弧形的青銅棒是主結構，最底層是六塊花片：四塊在弧上方（其中一塊斷裂脫離）、兩塊在弧下方。它們彼此之間是以銅線連結，然後將兩組花片的尖端，焊接到主青銅棒的兩端固定。
而那些看起來是用來加強、或固定珠簾用的各種纏繞，有一兩根其實也是花片。這些花片有自己的支架，但看起來應該是因為它們從原本已經焊接到主結構青銅棒的支架脫落，幫它們焊上新支架之後，並不是再焊接到主結構青銅棒上，就直接纏繞在原來的位置。全部一一解開。
As mentioned before, there are 'extra' wires wrapped to other supporting wires, and some of them are with the motif pieces. I presume that these motif pieces had detached from the supporting wires that had already been soldered to the main structure, and for some reasons the previous repairer soldered new wires to the pieces and simply wrapped them back to other wires on the main structure. All have been removed now.
前面提到最底層的花片彼此之間是以銅線連結，而兩組花片之間還有另一條銅線連接（靠近弧中間的位置）。這些銅線是次結構，（讓花片）順著主結構青銅棒的走向彎曲，沒有捲繞，也不太會顫動。在弧上方、四塊花片組的銅線上有小圈（×9），是用來固定珠簾的；弧下方的銅線比較單純，就是一條連通到底。不過看得出來，因為主結構被擠壓，花片也跟著變形變窄了，也才會造成這支髮簪一連串的傷。
It's getting clear.... the ornament is so damaged since the main structure is collapsed, and I presume that the pressure / squeezing came from the side since 1) the way the bronze bar crushed, 2) there is a motif piece at the edge of the ornament spilt from the main body (luckily it's not missing).
拆解至止告一段落，接下來是⋯⋯各種測量與記錄吧。待續。
To be continued.
