This earring is made of a simple gold loop with gold, agate, and feldspar beads strung on it. One of the gold beads is in the shape of a dolphin’s upper body with a small ball in its mouth. Earrings were extremely popular throughout the ancient Mediterranean, often decorated with animal heads like dolphins, bulls, and goats.
