Description

Two matching earrings are photographed side by side against a plain grey backdrop. Each has a round, hollow body, a wire hook rising from its top, and a flat leaf-shaped plate with a twisted wire collar at the join. The left earring has a dark hole and some damage on its lower left side, while the right one is smoother.
