One of a Pair of Crescent-Shaped Earrings with Rosettes

Kyivan Rus’ or Byzantine

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 300

These earrings combine diverse artistic features-Byzantine (cloisonné enamel decoration), Kyivan Rus' (enameling in segments), and Islamic (boxlike construction)-suggesting that the artist had knowledge of several traditions. The earrings have lost their suspension loops.
