This gold ear ornament is decorated with flame-like motifs and a quatrefoil motif in the middle that appears to be a setting for a stone, although it is usually found empty.

Such rich designs were proof of the highly attained skills of Javanese craftsmen, who made use of the techniques of chasing, granulation and filigree.
