Earrings

Description

Goldsmiths followed similar stylistic trends and standards and specialized in creating earrings with tiny sculptures.

These could be worn or placed on the ears of marble statues. Pictured are a representation of Ganymede caught in an eagle's grasp, measuring only slightly more than 2 inches tall.
