This imported jewellery has open-ends. A plain hoop. Rectangular in shape. The surface adorned with gold threads is incrusted. On the fixed hoops are loosely suspended pendants of triangle shape in threes. The pendants have mounted inlays of red glass with the central part of green glass-like paste. On the upper edges and sides of rectangular hoops, as well as on the bottoms of the triangles once should have been attached short discs with pearls. The back side of the earrings is covered by a plain flat gold platelet. Similar objects have been discovered in Romania.
