American actress Zendaya has faced a wave of criticism online for wearing earrings made from ancient Iranian artifacts during the promotion of the film “Odyssey.”

Zendaya is facing backlash after ancient Iranian gold medallions she wore to a London press event drew sharp criticism from archaeologists, historians, and social media users, with many citing the timing of the active U.S.-Iran conflict.

At a photocall for The Odyssey, the actress wore earrings described by jewelry dealer Barron London as “a pair of Ziwiye gold medallion plaques, circa first millennium BC Iran.” The pieces feature ancient Iranian sun motifs.
