A small penannular (open circular) earring fragment/object made of pale yellow material, shown from the front against a white background.
The image depicts a single hoop-like, penannular form with a visible gap at the top, suggesting an earring ring. The object is relatively smooth and unornamented, with a uniform pale yellow/cream tone and slightly glossy surface consistent with a worked, small shell or similar light material. No attached hook, post, or suspension element is clearly visible in this view. The background is plain and no mounting hardware is shown. No hieroglyphs or other inscriptions are visible, and there are no discernible deities or royal cartouches.
