Earrings of King Muryeong (NT 156)
Baekje, before 523 AD
Gongju Museum
Goldbugs will be fascinated by the displays in the Gongju Museum, which contains treasures like this pair of earrings from King Muryeong's tomb. Both men and women in Korea wore jewelry at this time, at least if they were royals. It was a common practice in much of the ancient world.
