Description: Vintage!!! Egyptian Metropolitan Museum Of Art Diadem Flower Earrings. Reliefs and paintings on tomb walls provide evidence of how jewelry was made, and used in ancient Egypt. Diadems, necklaces, armless, bracelets, anklets, and hair ornamentation not only beautify the wearer, but sometimes also serve an amuletic purpose , protecting the owner from harm. Finely worn pieces of jewelry were commonly placed in the tombs of the royal family and high-ranking officials, but because these objects were prized by tomb robbers, relatively few examples of high-quality ancient Egyptian jewelry have survived. Some of the most popular Egyptian motifs were forms taken from natural objects, such as shells and flower blossoms. The intricate flower of the museums earrings come from a centerpiece of delicate Egyptian diadem. Flowers, often adorn women’s hats on paintings, reliefs, and sculptures, and their inclusion on diadem’s, presumably present a translation into a permanent median adornments that were commonly made with fresh flowers Earrings measure approx 1 in Clip on earrings Earrings are electroplated with 24 karat gold and decorated with hand, applied epoxy enamel.
