Large gold Earrings from the Aigina Treasure
Two pairs of large gold earrings were part of the 'Aigina Treasure'. Within a hoop formed by a two headed snake, you can see two hounds and two monkeys. From the hoop hang pendant disks and owls. Large earrings are often shown in Minoan art, but these are the largest and most elaborate examples actually discovered.
Part of the Aigina Treasure, discovered at Aigina, about 30 kilometres from Athens.
