Earrings

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a gold-colored earring titled "Earrings" by the artist not specified. The earring is a semi-circle with a flat bottom and a rounded top that is open in the middle. The earring has a brushed gold metal surface with many fine scratches. There are darker areas on the top left and right where it appears to have been handled. There is a small loop at the top with two curled ends on either side. The loop is attached to the semi-circle by two small pieces of metal. The earring appears to be hanging from a white string. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
