Question

These objects are given to Brahmin children in the Karnavedha ritual. An Indian bell-shaped style of these objects is named for its characteristic jingle. The largest of three ornaments in these objects’ girandole style evolved into the pendeloque style’s single characteristic drop. These objects can be installed after daith or tragus procedures. A large, circular style of these objects rediscovered in King Tut’s tomb was repopularized (10[1])as a symbol of power for Black and Latina (-5[1])women. Dangles are a style (10[1])of (10[1])these (10[2])items (10[1])that can be installed (10[1])after using a gun named for studs, another type of them. For 10 points, hoops are a type of what jewelry (10[1])often pierced through an auditory organ’s lobe? ■END■

ANSWER: earrings [accept ear piercing; accept jhumka; accept girandole, pendeloque, hoops, dangles, or studs before they are read; prompt on piercings before “pierced” is read by asking “where are the piercings?”; prompt on jewelry before “jewelry” is read]
