Vintage 24kt gold electroplated Egyptian revival cartouche earrings issued by the Metropolitan Museum of Art (MMA). They were released in 1976 to commemorate the legendary Treasures of Tutankhamun traveling museum exhibition.

The detailed designs on each cartouche plate replicate authentic ancient Egyptian tomb artifacts, featuring distinct traditional motifs:

Left Earring: Depicts a seated deity or pharaoh holding a staff or scepter under celestial hieroglyphics.

Right Earring: Shows a kneeling figure offering worship or gifts beneath a winged sun disk (representing protection and royalty).
