Texto del museo
An Ancient Egyptian craftsman created this earring by first softening green glass with heat and bending it around a rod. They then fused a twisted cane of white-and-blue glass to the main body of the earring. Though a portion of this piece has broken off, originally this earring would have had two loops at the top that allowed the wearer to string a wire through and hang it from their pierced ear. This particular style was popular during the New Kingdom (about 1550–1069 BCE), when Egyptian men, women, and children of all social classes wore earrings made from glass, precious metals, or stone.
