Ancient Roman Repoussé Bull Hoop Earrings

$5,000

Sold!

If you've been to the Egyptian Wing at the Met and peered into the cases of gold jewelry, these animal-head hoop earrings may look familiar to you. Sourced from a reputable collector, they're the stuff of dreams. Nearly two-thousand-year-old dreams. They're bigger than they look in these pics but surprisingly lightweight due to their ingenious hollow construction. Each bull's face has a unique personality. It's rare indeed that a truly wearable pair of ancient earrings becomes available like this. c. 2-3 BC, high-carat (at least 18k) gold, 1" x 3/4".
