Description

The rosette-shaped earring is made of sheet gold and decorated in two rows using the breakthrough technique. The outer row resembles small crescents or peltae that open inwards. The inner wreath shows more or less successfully punched out stars. A narrow cross made of sheet gold is soldered onto the back, on which the curved hook made of fine gold wire sits. In some comparable pieces in the Belgrade National Museum, a semi-precious stone or glass paste was inserted into the heart of the rose window. The thin wire in the middle of the rosette probably originally held a stone, which is now lost.
