What is this item?

We call this "Kin-Byoubu".
You may have heard "Byoubu" somewhere before.
Byoubu is used as a wind guard or a partition, so almost of them are  decorated extravagantly.
But Kin-Byoubu is plain gold only.
This item is so special for Japanese.

It's a fundamental item at a wedding ceremony.
The bride and groom sit in front of KIn-Byoubu through the reception.
