ETRUSCAN GOLD EARRINGS in the Form of Zoomorphic Creatures

• GOLD EARRINGS in the Form of Zoomorphic Creatures:
Crafted from smooth thin gold plates with masterful granulation,
Depicting Leo and/or Aries [and at least 1 unidentified representation, possibly a Pisce],
Discovered at the Etruscan ancient port city of Spina, Spina Necropolis [near modern Comacchio, Emilia Romagna, Italy],
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spina
Padanian Etruria,
Late 5th - early 4th century BC.
.
'Jewellery from Spina testifies to the high degree of technical skill attained in Etruscan workshops in the Po Valley and central Italy.
Gold, silver, amber, semiprecious stones and molten glass are mainly used in jewels production.
But gold artefacts in the tombs are few and almost always pertaining to the female world.'
