Earring

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Earring by unknown artist depicts a bronze or metal earring with a weathered green patina. The earring is shaped like a pointed cone with a wide base and narrows towards the bottom. It has a series of ridges around it. At the top of the earring is a decorative design featuring a face with a prominent nose and mouth, flanked by two smaller faces on either side. Above these faces are more decorative elements resembling leaves or petals. The earring appears to be suspended from two thin wires.
