A pretty pair of electrum hoop earrings and a silver clawed foot, likely from a vessel. The elegant earrings each present a minimalist, boat-shaped form with pointed termini that briefly overlap.

Light bending to earrings and some minor age-expected surface wear to all, but otherwise all are intact and excellent with nice patina.
