“This earring is more than 2,300 years old! Perhaps worn by a royal person or decorating a statue, the earring’s craftsmanship is extraordinary. It takes the shape of Nike-the goddess of victory-driving a two-horse chariot (biga). More than 100 individual elements have been soldered together, and there is evidence that it was originally further decorated with enamel.”
