Pair of Etruscan bauletto gold earrings
Mid 6th century BC
length ca. cm 3 (1,2’’) (each)
Marvelous pairs of gold earrings cast on a bronze liner (ancient sphyrelaton technique), characterized by embossed designs and filigree: with a central plaque of a sequence of funerary masks, a couple of two fighting warriors and stylized volutes bands. Probably in origin suspended on hooks .
Etruscan jewels were produced only for funeral purposes as demonstration of elite status, as attested into the aristocratic grave goods. The most important manufacturing centers were in Vulci and Caere.
