Earring (one of a pair)

Cleveland Museum of Art

Gold earring, one of a pair, with circular hoop and decorative elements. The hoop is smooth and rounded, forming a complete circle with a small loop at the top for closure. Two rows of small gold balls are attached along the lower half of the hoop. The gold balls in the upper row are larger and more golden in color. The gold balls in the lower row are smaller and have a pinkish hue. A larger, teardrop-shaped red stone or glass bead is attached to the right side. The earring has a textured, slightly rough appearance. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
