The silver earring is the richest branch of the silver ornament family of the Miao ethnic minority: in the incomplete collection in the Museum of Guizhou Province alone, there are nearly one hundred kinds. There are four types of earrings, namely the suspending type, the circle type, the hook type and the wheel type. Most of them belong to the suspending type and the circle type. In modeling of the earrings of the Miao, there are some other patterns besides commonly seen flowers, birds, butterflies and dragon.
