Once, as she tagged along on an archaeological dig near the Black Sea, Aunt Matilda learned just how easy it was to combine a humble chickpea with easily found ingredients and make a delicious spread called hummus for toasted pita bread.

Unable to acquire an artifact from the dig itself, she made these earrings to remember the trip from some readily available tools and metals found in the unsharing archaeologists’ luggage.
