A pair of small carved drops or discs of wood, hung from a wire or a knotted thong. They weigh almost nothing, which is their point: a heavy ornament drags at a pierced ear all day, and a woman working in the fields wants nothing that pulls. The carving is usually a leaf, a beast, or a household sign, and a good pair is oiled once a season to keep it from drying and cracking.
Earrings, wood
Carved wooden drops on a wire or thong; light enough to be worn all day.
