| Fiziksel açıklama | A circular silver wire pair of earrings with a plain semi-circular loop lattened at one end and pierced with a hole which is used as a fastening with a piece of textile cord that is threaded through it and the opposite end of the ring and tied into a knot. The lower arc of the ring is made of flattened wire onto which is fused a fire-gilded sheet of silver set within the ring with a scalopped outline. It is decorated with a matrix stamped floral and arabesque pattern. One red and two blue glass stones are bezel-set on each ring and mounted on this inner decorative sheet. A pair of silver flanges are slotted onto the decorative ends of the ring with stamped silver decoration on both front and back probably intended as the heads of open-mouthed auspicious dragons, found on other earrings of this overall style. |
