This gold earring consists of a primary pendant in the shape of a leaf surrounded by two tiers of smaller leaves above. A framework of wiring holds together the leaf-shaped sheets of gold. The smaller pieces of gold sheets have a concave shape. The craftsman used tooled details to decorate the edges of the smaller leaves and the axes of the larger leaf as well as twisted wires in the decoration of the outer edges of the larger leaf.
