Explanation:
In mancanza di contesto e presupponendo dall'altra domanda che hai posto che tu ti stia occupando di un'esposizione museale credo che possa fare riferimento a questa tipologia di reperti la cui funzione principale era di ostentare lo status sociale del portatore: Sontuosi Orecchini piatti, svasati o comunque circolari in lamina d'oro finemente cesellata di epoca precolombiana (es. civiltà Moche, Maya o Aztechi)
-->vedi i vari link
Ti riporto le definizioni in inglese:
Large circular ear ornaments were popular personal adornments of prominent ancient Peruvian lords and a symbol of their status and wealth. The weight of the frontal, which could reach widths of more than four inches, was counterbalanced by a long tubular shaft that went through the distended hole in the earlobe. Particularly impressive are those earflares with colorful mosaics. On this pair, bird-headed (or masked) winged runners, worked in turquoise, sodalite, and spondylus shell, hold bags in their outstretched hands. Their eyes and beaks are sheathed in gold. They may be depictions of mythological messengers.

ed in francese:
Ces boucles d'oreille mesurent plus de 5 pouces de diamètre. Réalisées à partir de feuille d'or martelées, elles sont relativement légères. La composition représente un dignitaire coiffé d'un chapeau et tenant un éventail. Il est porté par deux personnages également coiffés de larges chapeaux. Un quatrième personnage, non coiffé, apparaît au deuxième plan.
