This pair of gold earrings was part of a Middle Byzantine jewelry hoard. They each consist of a cast gold band with granulated decoration and a triple row of pearls along the lower side. Each pearl is fixed on a tiny gold rod with spherical ending. A badly preserved single row of pearls adorned the band's interior. Painted representations of this common type of Middle Byzantine earring illustrate the way that these were worn: either around the ear and lobe without piercing it, or horizontally over the upper part of the auricle.
