Pair of Ear Clips

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Golden earrings, titled "Pair of Ear Clips" by the artist, are depicted. The earrings are a pair of gold-colored, hollow, U-shaped clips. The clips are made of a textured, ridged metal that resembles a ribbed or corrugated surface. They have a shiny appearance and are positioned on a gray background. The clips are shaped like a semicircle or a horseshoe. The ends of the clips appear to be rough and unfinished, not smooth. The clips are identical in shape and size. The background of the image is a solid, light gray color.
