NEW! Inspired by The Morgan's Ancient Seals and Tablets Collections
Any antiquarian will wish to wear a unique design from the ancient world! The design of these earrings is inspired by a detail from Seal 35 in our collection of Mesopotamian cylinder seals. This piece reflects the image produced from the cylinder seal when the impression is formed. Available in sterling silver or 14 karat gold-plated sterling silver, the earrings hang approximately 1 inch long and are about 0.25 inch wide with hook closures.
The original Seal 35 in the Morgan's collection, produced between 3100 B.C. and 2900 B.C., shows patterns probably derived from weaving and mat plaiting in a zigzag ladder design that forms two triangles with three dots in each triangle.
