Flattened but not seriously damaged. Visible wear on the back of the hoop, but condition of the gold is generally very good. There is an oval box-bezel with a narrow, flat retaining ring containing a repoussé gold plaque with clasped hands within a beaded border. The bezel is retained within a decorative flange with an ovolo pattern, and it is to this that the wires forming the structure of the hoop are attached. Two thick milled gold wires form the outer border of the shoulder, with an additional central wire backing the shoulder area only. The filigree decoration on the shoulders co…

Now very crushed and distorted, the ring has a distinctive construction using thin sheet gold. Three tapering gold tubes are placed side by side, their lengthwise seams visible on the front. The tapered ends are hammered together to produce the narrow, flat hoop. The central tube has a roundish oval opening, one surviving side tube has a small and very narrow elliptical opening, and the other side would have matched, though it is now torn and crushed. These openings evidently contained settings, all now lost, naturally. They must have been bedded in an adhesive such as sulphur, as the …
