Description

Small earring made of a small rectangular plaque folded on itself and decorated with four grooves. This very simple piece of jewellery reminds us that silver was much rarer than gold and therefore even more favoured by the ancient Egyptians.

Petite boucle d'oreille, faite d'une plaque repliée sur elle-même et comportant quatre rainures. Ce bijou, très simple, rappelle que l'argent était plus rare, donc plus prisé que l'or par les anciens &Eacute;gyptiens.
