Circular Gold Earrings with Spider MonkeysNariño
Ça 600-1500 AD
Lost wax cast gold
3¼" in diameter
The circular forms of these earrings enclose an openwork diagonal stepped pattern that resembles weaving. Five spider monkeys play along the outer edge of each earring. Each earring is perforated at the point where the sixth monkey would have stood. Perhaps a mischievous jeweler was suggesting that the wearer might be the sixth monkey. 39.3 grams, the pair.
