A pair of flat gold ear-rings.

The upper portion is formed by a small rectangular plaque with laid-on ornaments in twisted gold wire. 130-133. Four massive silver finger rings of a spiral shape, terminating at each end in a triangular knob decorated with laid-on silver beads and perhaps a very conven- tional representatio...n of a snake's (or ram's) head. 134.
