A small gold loop earring featuring a lion’s head form at one end and a twisted band loop continuing from it.
The image shows a small, gold-colored metal ornament lying on a light gray, textured background. The object has a circular/looped band made of twisted metal strands, with one end shaped into a stylized lion’s head. The lion head appears as a small relief-like element with a face and mane pattern; the details are limited by the viewing angle and resolution, but the overall lion-headed motif is clearly suggested. No inscriptions or readable hieroglyphs are visible, and there are no cartouches or royal names discernible. There is no Greek/Coptic/Arabic text visible.
