Photograph of a small bronze/copper-alloy penannular ring earring (circular open hoop) viewed against a light background.
The object is a single penannular (nearly circular but intentionally open) hoop with a gap at the top. The hoop has a slightly irregular, hand-worked profile and visible surface patination/greenish corrosion products, suggesting a copper-based alloy. No decorative motifs (e.g., granulation, beads, or sculpted terminals) are clearly visible in this image; the terminals appear rounded and thick, forming a simple open ring. The background is plain and there are no accompanying inscriptions, cartouches, or other text elements visible on the object or in the frame.
