Photograph of a small hoop earring with a curved gold band and several dangling bead-like elements.
The image shows a circular/hoop earring viewed in three-quarter view. The top portion is a thick, curved band (appearing metallic/gold) with an uneven, possibly textured surface. From the hoop hang three to four small pendants/beads attached by short wire loops: the pendants look like light-colored (pearl-like) spheres/ovals of different sizes, including one larger oval at the lower center and two smaller round beads on either side, plus an additional small element near the lower right. No hieroglyphic, Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible. No cartouche or royal name is present. The background is dark and does not provide contextual inscriptions.
