Ear Clip

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a pair of gold ear clips titled "Ear Clip" by an unknown artist. The clips are shaped like pointed seashells with a ridged, spiral design. They have a textured, ornate appearance with multiple layers of ridges and etchings. The clips are symmetrical, with two pointed protrusions at the top. They are positioned side by side, pointing downwards, against a plain gray background. The lighting casts a subtle shadow beneath each clip.
