These earrings were among the artifacts found in Ur, Iraq dating
from 2550-2450 BCE. As I explained in my previous post I saw them at the University of Pennsylvania
Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, Philadelphia, PA.
Their fabricating process gives the impression to involve what
we call today synclastic forming. It seems reasonable as the basic tools needed
are only hammers and a wooden block.
