Photograph of a small circular/hoop ornament with a split gap, likely resembling a penannular earring.
The image shows a penannular (nearly complete ring) object viewed from the front. A small break/gap is visible at the top where the hoop does not fully join. The ring’s surface is worn and shows mottled reddish-brown and greenish-gray areas consistent with mineral corrosion/patina. No decorative filigree, inlays, or piercing details are visible in this view beyond the simple hoop form. The background is a plain light field; no mounting or accompanying text is present.
