Description

Four pieces of jewellery lie in a two-by-two arrangement on a plain grey backdrop. Each is an open loop of twisted, rope-like wire ending in a bulging collar and a triangular head; the two upper heads are pierced with a round hole. The two lower objects have a curled wire end and a short projecting element beside the head.
