Isidora Earrings
Product Description
Isidora Earrings
The delicate design used for these is based on earrings in a mummy portrait in the Museum’s antiquities collection at the Getty Villa. An inscription on the cartonnage, or linen mummy case, identifies the portrait’s subject as ICIDOPA (translated as Isidora). Each of the four gold dangles is tipped with a delicate pearl and has a gentle movement as worn.
Earrings are 1¼" H (2" H including the hook) x ¾" W
Gold-plated brass tipped with faux pearls
An elegant Egyptian woman painted about 2,000 years ago, Isidora wears a braided hairstyle that was fashionable in the early second century A.D. She is shown accessorized with the gold and pearl earrings, a gold hairpin and wreath, and three necklaces heavy with gold and jewels.
