The title of the artwork is "Earrings". The image shows a pair of earrings. The earrings are made of metal and have a circular shape with a hook at the top. The circular part is thin and smooth. The hook on the left earring is a thin metal loop bent into a small hook shape, and the hook on the right earring is a thin gold-colored metal piece. The bottom of each earring has a triangular-shaped piece with intricate designs and small beads. The triangular piece is attached to the circular part with a small coiled metal piece. The triangular piece has a floral design in the center and small beads around it. There are five tassel-like pieces hanging from the bottom of each triangular piece. Each tassel-like piece has a decorative end. The background of the image is a plain off-white color.
