Object Description
A fine pair of Ancient Roman gold earrings with a hook-and-loop closure, now fixed in place. Each earring features a concave disc embellished with granules dispersed around its perimeter, and set with a pierced, uneven pearl. A central gold wire is threaded through the pearls holding them in place, and finished with a twist. The reverse is unadorned and convex. Hanging from each hoop is a gold wire, supporting a spherical gold bead with fine granulation around the bottom while tapering to a narrow neck at the top. The gold wire terminates with a twist.
