A small penannular (nearly circular) earring fragment shown in a plain, light-colored material ring with slight discoloration.
The image shows a single penannular earring: an open ring with a gap at one point. The object is smooth and uniformly light in color (off-white to pale yellow) with faint surface speckling and a few darker patches near the rim. No attached decorative elements (e.g., beads, wires, or iconographic forms) are clearly visible at this resolution. The background is plain white/gray studio lighting, and no inscriptions or symbols appear on the object. The form is consistent with a simple penannular earring, and the light material appearance aligns with the catalogued shell material, though the exact material cannot be confirmed from the image alone.
