Description

Two dark wooden trays sit side by side on a light mount, filling most of the frame. Each tray holds many small rings, earrings and pendants arranged in neat rows, most with small paper tags attached. A long chain loops across the left tray above a few larger round pieces, while the right tray has several flat, leaf-like sheets of metal and a few small vessel-like forms. No people are visible.
