Pair of Earrings

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Pair of Earrings by an unknown artist are silver, ornate earrings that are shaped like elongated teardrops. The earrings have a figure at the top with curled hair and curled tendrils on either side. The bottom half of the earrings have a floral design. The earrings are hanging from a black metal earring stand with a T-shaped top and a rectangular base. The background is a plain gray wall and a lighter gray surface. The earrings are symmetrical and appear to be made of metal with a shiny finish. They are hanging down from the stand, with the top of each earring connected to the stand.
