Silver cage and ball pendant from an earring
Unknown
7th–6th century BCE · Silver · Greek and Roman Art
Because silver corrodes easily, any kind of object in this metal is far less likely to survive from antiquity than something made of gold. However fragmentary, this piece provides an equivalent in silver for a type of earring well attested in gold.
