Description: Gold finger ring formed of a succession of eighteen conjoined lobes. Each lobe is sub-rectangular with a shallowly domed front and straightened sides where it abuts the next lobe.

The smooth inner side and junctions suggests the lobes were formed by indenting the lines between them rather than formed separately and joined. There is an Italic inscription on the interior surface of the ring. This re…
