Item Details
Description
Ca. 300-100 BC A finely rendered pair of gold earrings, each formed from a twisted circular wire hoop, which tapers towards one end and features a head terminal on the other.

For similar earrings with a head of a lion, see The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Accession Number: 74.51.3492. The item has undergone X-ray fluorescence analysis to confirm the metallurgical content suggesting its ancient origin and lack of modern trace elements. Size: L:20mm / W:15mm ; 4.87 (set of 2)g Provenance: From the private collection of an Essex gentleman; previously in an old British Collection, formed in the 1990s.
