A silver earring features an open, circular hoop from which nine decorative elements radiate. Each element begins with two spheres, ascending into a tapered, horizontally ridged middle before ending in a bulbous tip. The metallic surface displays a dull, weathered patina with minute pitting. A narrow gap breaks the circle at the top, leaving the ends of the hoop blunt and exposed.
