A pair of gold, bulbous ornaments features spherical bodies with three rounded mounds protruding from their sides. Intricate filigree of twisted wire and tiny beads forms overlapping circular patterns across the surfaces. Small attachment loops nestle at the base of each. A short, cylindrical neck protrudes from the top of the object on the left. Two views highlight the complex textures and metallic details from slightly different angles.
