A really fine Pair of Bung-Style Bronze earrings with a heavy cover of Gold. Though this style spread across SE Asia in the 1st Millenium AD, quality gold examples such as these are rarely seen in even museum collections….as the corroding bronze in the tombs pushes off the gold that was heat-layered on its surface. Full size and top quality, these were purchased from the archaeologist-finder in Thailand about 1996.
