Earring

Five wires, each formed of curled sheet metal, soldered together in 'boat" shape; curved wires soldered inside at either end of boat as hooks. Conical boss inside notched ring forms applique rosette outside of one hook join. Five rods, each scored with fine lines like screw threads, protrude from wires of boat at right angle; rods end in nailhead-like discs, to which are attached suspension rings for five short loop-in-loop chains which end in flat leaves decorated with repousse dots. Similar to Early Bronze Age jewelry of Troy, Lemnos (Poliochni), and Ur.
