A small penannular (open) ring-shaped earring made of a pale, translucent material.
The image shows a circular penannular ornament viewed from the front. The object is a near-complete ring with a clear gap; there are two concentric ridges or bands around the circumference, giving it a stepped profile. The surface appears smooth and slightly polished, with faint discoloration and minor edge wear. No attached hooks, clasp components, or decorative elements are clearly visible beyond the ring’s banded construction. The background is plain and studio-lit; no associated tool marks or mounting hardware are shown.
