Digital Object 1099
Description:
Set of gold ear rods (2 pairs). They were found together on one side of individual I7’s body. They were probably inside a package placed there.
Two of the ear rods were made of wood, with sheaths and caps made of gold (in the photo, the two upper ear rods). The other two are made of stone, with sheaths and caps made of gold (the two ear rods at the bottom of the photograph). Typologically, the two pairs of ear rods are similar, although they are made with different materials.
