ملاحظات	The 1851 Great Exhibition inspired a series of âLondon International Exhibitionsâ which took place in South Kensington in 1871, 1872, 1873 and 1874. Fine arts and scientific inventions and discoveries remained central display themes but each exhibition presented different aspects of manufacture. In 1872 one emphasis was on jewellery, including âpeasant jewelleryâ. The Exhibition Commissioners arranged with the South Kensington Museum (later V&A) to make a collection of peasant jewellery from âall parts of the world, which should become public property, for exhibition in the Museum after the close of the Exhibitionâ. A letter was sent by the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to British representatives overseas asking for their help in securing pieces of jewellery, particularly examples with âa direct connection with the native instinctive art, which has been handed down by a long traditionâ. The outcome was considered to be âmost satisfactory â¦ a collection of characteristic ornaments never before equalled was obtainedâ. This earring, originally one of a pair, is part of this collection. It was bought as an example of traditional Egyptian jewellery, but the shape is not typical of surviving earrings, and may represent a tradition which has died out in the intervening years.
Malzemeler ve teknikler	Incised silver, glass beads Silver Beads Incising
Fiziksel açıklama	Earring made from a strip of silver with a lozenge-shaped cross-section extended at each end as a length of plain thin wire. At one end the length of wire is left unaltered, but at the other it is curled into a loop and the end then wrapped round the body of the earring. The two outside facets of the main section are decorated with stamped chevrons. It was originally threaded with two cylindrical glass beads, one red and one green.
