Earrings, by Moira McKenzie

Add to album

This pair of silver and base metal earrings was made by the Scottish artist Moira McKenzie in 1986.

The earrings have been described as being like sundials or gyroscopes. Each consists of a circle of wire surrounding a black semicircle with a triangle set at right angles to it. Silver-coloured wires crossing each earring are finished by black dots.

During the 1980s the Scottish Development Agency purchased a number of hand-crafted items for its Scottish Crafts Collection. The aim of the collection was to inform the public of craft production in Scotland through touring exhibitions and education programmes. When the Scottish Craft Council was wound up, the collection was transferred to the National Museums of Scotland.
