Pair of Earrings c. 200

This pair of jade earrings, crafted by the Colima culture around 200 CE, are a testament to their artistry. The earrings are shaped like fish, a common motif in Colima art, and feature intricate carving that showcases their mastery of jade working. The delicate details and smooth, polished surfaces highlight the natural beauty of the jade stone, adding a subtle elegance to the design. These earrings, now housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, offer a glimpse into the artistic practices and cultural significance of the Colima people.
