These gold-plated large-loop earrings feature a central ornament composed of two hemispheres, with seven tiny rings attached in the space between the two hemispheres. The cone-shaped end drops are engraved with a decorative design. These artifacts are known to date back to the sixth century during the Silla period, but there is no information on where they were found. The large center loops display a simple beauty, while the end drops are exquisite.
