A turquoise faience ear stud, a circular disk with a central hole, features three concentric rings of patterns. Petal-like forms occupy the innermost ring. A middle ring features a repeating stepped pattern, while the wide outer rim consists of numerous short, radial ridges. The muted turquoise surface has a weathered, granular texture throughout with scattered tan patches.
