These earrings were unearthed from the Geumnyeongchong Tomb. A glass jade is inserted into each of the four-sided ornaments in the middle, and the cordate drop features a notch-like edge inlaid with a small gem of blue glass. This pair of earrings displays the beauty of simplicity, a pleasing contrast between the green and gold colors, and an exquisite decorative technique.
