Gold Indonesian Earrings

The name for this type of earring is "swinging leaves of gold". These are the large type without hanging strips of gold from the lower portion of the earrings.

I do like this type particularly, James, and we also have a pair.

This is a popular type, probably from Flores, worn by the Nage people. For the type which does feature hanging strips of gold please see *Ethnic Jewellery and Adornment* (by Truus Daalder), p. 195.
