Earrings. Dimensions: H. 1 in. (2.5 cm)W. 1 1/16 in. (2.7 cm)D. 7/16 in. (1.1 cm)Wt. 0.2 oz. (5.8 g). Date: 11th-12th century.These earrings or pendants have been fabricated with filigree openwork, cloisonné enamel, and beaded granulation, and resemble similar jewels from the Fatimid Period (909-1171). Yet these pieces differ from most well-known Fatimid crescent (hilal) shaped ornaments in that they bear bulbous filigree hemispheres and cloisonné enamel on both rather than just one side. The style of the enamel is also more similar to works produced in eastern Slavic Kievan Rus' (ca. 860-1240) than to any known surviving Fatimid examples. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
