The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a pair of earrings. The earrings have a large teardrop shaped metal base with a rounded top and pointed bottom. Attached to the base is a short cylindrical piece connected to three stacked rounded shapes. The top and bottom rounded shapes are smaller than the middle one. The top and bottom have vertical ridges, while the middle one has horizontal ridges. Above the stacked rounded shapes is a small loop. The earrings are shown side-by-side on a plain background. The earrings are by an unknown artist and are titled "Earring (one of a pair)".
