A silver earring is shaped like an incomplete circle with eight conical studs radiating outward. Each stud displays horizontal ridges near its tip and is anchored by two spheres. The handcrafted metal has a matte, tarnished gray patina with small dark spots throughout. An open gap at the top left breaks the circle, creating a spiked sunburst silhouette.
