About this object
Pierced earrings in the form of fish. They are constructed in many small pieces to represent the scales of the fish. The scales are interlocked so that they move slightly. Metal hoops are attached to the mouths of the fish. The tails are small pieces of gold, as well and are etched with a scale like design.
