Fine Golden Earring

This golden earring constitutes a very thin stalk in the form of an "S" of which the main part is folded up in a hook and the lower part ends in three pearls, two of them gold and one, in the middle, of glass much smaller and tinted green. 

 The piece resembles a type of jewellery very fashionable in the 1st and 2nd centuries and often represented on the mummy portraits.
