Earring with Repoussé Nodules

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Golden earring with repousse nodules by unknown artist. The earring is gold-colored and made up of small, round nodules that are clustered together to form a circular shape. The nodules vary in size, with some being larger than others. The earring appears to be a single piece with no visible clasp or fastening mechanism, and the ends are not connected. The background is a light-colored surface, possibly a table or countertop, which provides a neutral backdrop for the earring.
