TONNEAU earrings

A tonneau (barrel) is a container made of wood used to store liquids for consumption. It allows the ageing of the wine. Herodotus mentions in the fifth century BC. AD a wine trade by sea, between Armenia and Mesopotamia, using palm wood barrels. The barrel is often considered a Celtic, more precisely Galic, invention but the oldest iconographic traces of barrels actually come from Etruria in the sixth century BC.

With slightly curved edges, inspired by the shape of wine barrels.
