Earring with lion-griffin head terminal

Earring with lion-griffin head terminal. Dimensions: As Worn: H. 2.3 × W. 2.2 cm (7/8 × 7/8 in.). Date: 4th-3rd century B.C.. Hoops formed of wound wire with animal head terminals are the commonest type of Hellenistic earring. The griffin is a mythical winged animal that could have an eagle head or a horned lion-head.
