Earring

Above a rectangular base, the winged goddess Nike stands on a two-wheeled chariot pulled by a pair of horses. In one hand she holds a chain that serves as a harness. Four ropelike strands hang from the horses' necks. A long curved element extends from the back of the base to end in a small hook.
