A small gold loop earring with a loop ring and a small animal-head terminal, with a white cord-like element descending from the gold head and a pale tag attached.
The photograph shows a gold earring consisting of a circular loop/ring with a hinged-looking join at one side. At the top/left of the loop is a small stylized animal head facing forward (the catalogue identifies it as a gazelle’s head). From beneath the head a thin, light-colored twisted cord or suspension strand descends. Attached at the lower end is a pale yellow-beige inventory or display tag bearing dark writing, though the text appears to be handwritten modern cataloguing rather than ancient inscription. No visible hieroglyphs, cartouches, or ancient Greek/Coptic/Arabic inscriptions are present on the object itself in this image.
