	Earrings. Korea. Three Kingdoms Period: Silla, 5th-6th c. CE. Gold. OA 1938.5-24.238, 242, 243 Possibly the technique of granulation came to Korea from the Han Chinese colony at Nanguang (Lelang), but gold earrings not worn in China. Gold objects in the Silla burials are often compared with those found at, e.g., Tillia Tepe in Afghanistan.
