This is a pair of earrings made from a copper wire, curved in order to create a circle. The circumference of the first earring is almost complete (only a small opening of 4 mm) and the extremities are sharp. The cross-section of the earring is round and, before oxidation, could have been 1 mm thick at the extremities. The second earring is broken and its current shape is only a half circle.

Il s'agit d'une paire de boucles d'oreille constituées par un fil de cuivre recourbé pour former un cercle. La première boucle d'oreille est presque totalement fermée (ouverture de 4 mm) et les deux extrémités se terminent en pointe. La section de la boucle est circulaire et devait être, avant oxydation, d'une épaisseur de 1 mm aux extrémités. La seconde boucle est brisée et n'a plus aujourd'hui qu'une forme semi-circulaire.
