A complete but damaged gold finger ring. The band has a lentoid cross section, damaged on all sides. The ring has a black mineral coating, with a crazed appearance. The metal appears frosted as a result of an uneven surface. The band measures 5.63mm at its widest part and has an external diameter of 21.65mm and an internal diameter of 16.64mm.
