Earring

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

"Earring" by artist unknown, depicts a predominantly orange corded earring with a metal clasp. The earring features four strands of small orange beads with gold and green spacers. The ends of the orange strands are capped with green and pink beads. A large rectangular metal clasp has swirling designs on it and holds the four strands together. The top portion of the earring is made of metal links with orange and green beads. A thin metal post protrudes from the top. The background of the image is a light-colored surface, possibly a table.
