The image shows a small penannular (open) ring-shaped earring fragment, with two broken ends and a smooth, pale surface.
A single penannular earring form is photographed against a plain white background. The object is U-shaped/open, with the ends broken or missing, and has a thickness consistent with a small ring ornament. The surface appears smooth and slightly translucent/opaline with a light yellow-beige color; no metal fittings, engraved decoration, or drilled perforations for suspension are clearly visible in this view. No hieroglyphs, cartouches, or textual markings are present, and there are no visible figures of deities or royal names. The overall appearance is consistent with a small worked organic material component, such as shell, as described in the catalogue.
