Earrings with ibex head terminal

Earrings with ibex head terminal. Dimensions: a. As Worn: H. 1.4 × W. 1.5 cm (9/16 × 9/16 in.) b. As Worn: H. 1.4 × W. 1.5 cm (9/16 × 9/16 in.). Date: 2nd century B.C., perhaps. Hoops with animal head terminals are the commonest type of Hellenistic earring. The heads on these earrings have been referred to as those of gazelles, but is now thought more likely to be an ibex. Ibex-head earrings are well-known in Egypt, but also Asia Minor and Cyprus. The gold bead that forms part of the collar behind the animal's head is scarcely rounded, pointing to a 3rd or probably 2nd century date. The hoops on these earrings are formed of sheet gold.
