Strange little earrings 18K nuggets

[Beachkid23]

These were my weird little find this weekend. They look like they have faces carved into the earrings and then under each one is a gold nugget that tests for at least 18 K. I don't know what to make of them. I will probably just put them online for about $25 or best offer. There's no name just this on both sides. But the gold nugget is only on one side. The rest is sterling.

They were $1.

Well those are certainly unique!
Are you sure those faces aren't kitty cats?
That swallowed a gold nugget and has fish tails?
I may not need more catnip tonight.

The design at the top, almost look like a car dash, odometer area, or
2 cows standing in the framed area.

The style looks to me like native alaskan/inuit artwork. Alaska is a popular gold prospecting destination as well, so the nuggets make sense.

Like Baltimore said, the earrings look like they have First nations symbols from the Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, Alaska). Great find.

I've found several silver and 18K pieces. Search them. I sold them for between $25-50 a piece.

Those are nice. Even with no name you should be able to sell them easily.
