Byzantine Pair of Electrum Earrings

About the Item

A Byzantine matching pair of electrum earrings that are crafted with utmost skill and care. Each earring features a round-section hoop with a central, biconical adornment with a hollow interior. The biconical pendants are flanked on either side by a series of coiled decorations, fashioned out of thin, stylized rope wires that seem to weave around the central motif. These decorative elements are further enhanced by a pronounced rib decoration that adds an extra dimension of texture and complexity to the overall design. Size: L: 39.2-40.5mm / W: 36.8-38.6mm ; 8.38-11.69g Provenance: From the collection of Surrey gentleman, formerly acquired on the UK Art Market. (Please refer to the description for the correct size)
