Horn earring with marquise plaque and three drops
Jewelry
A drop earring made of animal horn with white-metal findings. From the top: a flat folded metal clip and a metal wrap; then a large marquise-shaped (pointed-oval) horn plaque, caramel-brown with pale lengthwise striations and darker streaks, polished to a sheen; and, suspended from its lower edge by jump rings, three small near-black horn marquise drops. The components are joined by white-metal jump rings.
