Earrings

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Golden earrings with ornate designs. Two circular hoops, one on the left and one on the right. The hoops are made of gold-colored metal and have a smooth surface. From the bottom of each hoop hangs a short chain with a decorative piece attached to it. The decorative pieces are shaped like ornate vases with intricate designs. The vases are decorated with small balls and a star pattern. The vases have a narrow neck and a wider body. A bird sits on the bottom of each vase. The earrings are titled "Earrings" and are by an unknown artist. The background is white.
