Earrings

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Earrings by artist unknown. Two earrings are shown against a white background. The earrings are identical. The top of each earring is a small cluster of small beads on a post, with a small copper-colored metal piece to the side. The main body of the earring is a teardrop shape made of small beads. Inside the teardrop, there are two curved lines made of small beads. The bottom of the earring has a copper-colored metal design with a leaf-like shape on either side. The metal appears to be a warm orange color and has a textured surface. The background of the image is solid white, suggesting that the earrings are being displayed for sale or showcase.
