Multiphor

Multiple metaphores combined to form one image.

Use when a synecdochic metaphor fails to articulate the magnitude.

For example:

She swims in a sea of diamonds drowning in happiness.

The metaphors of swimming in a sea of diamonds and also that of drowning in a sea of happiness are combined to produce a multiphor.
