The birds Earrings (Pair) from AEOLUS STUDIO. Divided by nations, united by gesture. This gesture, known as "katapygon" in ancient Greece, serves as a potent symbol of protest and independence. Its first recorded appearance was in Aristophanes' play "The Clouds" from 423 BC, where it signified disrespect from a student towards his teacher. Safe to say, this tradition is still going strong globally today. Composition: 925 Sterling Silver Made in the UK
