long earlobes

Earlobes that are naturally elongated, without piercings or body modification.

Earlobes can be elongated for a variety of social, cultural, and religious reasons; most depictions of a Buddha, for example, will have long earlobes in reference to the tale of Gautama Buddha.

See plug (piercing) for the type of ear piercing that sometimes stretches out the earlobe, also known as ear gauges.
