Gold Earrings of the Queen Consort of King Muryeong

Two pairs of Baekje earrings from the Tomb of King Muryeong in Gongju, 11.8 cm and 8.8 cm long. They are the queen's, made by linking small ornaments to a thick ring. One pair is elaborate, with a long and a short pendant; the other has a single pendant. The long pendant of the first pair links many round ornaments on a chain of twisted gold wire, with eight round ornaments on small rings at the very bottom and a bullet-shaped ornament below them. The short pendant is made in almost the same way as the other pair's but has no bullet ornament; instead it carries a leaf-shaped ornament and a round pale green jade. One pair is kept at the National Museum of Korea and one at Gongju National Museum.
