These earrings are inspired by the art of Jean-Michel Basquiat. The crown was his signature motif. In some paintings, the crowns top nameless, generic figures; but more often, they crowned his heroes. These included renowned jazz musicians, and celebrated athletes. Like the royal titles that famous African American musicians have sometimes adopted as nicknames such as Duke Ellington or Count Basie. Basquiat used crowns to ennoble his icons. Finish: solid brass, electro-plated with hematite, ear wires are plated hematite. Gift Boxed with Provenance Card
