Notes
A pair of earrings composed of a round silver wire, twisted to form a circular ring and equipped with a hollow, moving ball consisting of two parts joined together. The two ends of the wire are closed with two loops that allow a clip, wire or thread to pass through. The ball was decorated with prominent decorations, consisting of threads drawing successive circles, delineating four adjacent strips decorated with perforations in the form of small circles. It is also possible to use these ornaments as ear pendants, because the looped shape of the ends of the wire allows the ornament to be fixed on a veil or scarf at the level of the ears.
