Physical description
Gold earring in the form of a hoop with a thick lower body (the so-called "leech" shape) with fine wire terminal bindings. The main body is decorated with two arcs with opposing triangles of dots on either side, made from finely-applied granulations. Two triangles also at the top of the body. Two bells hang beneath with possible attachments for three more.
