A small C-shaped penannular ring/open hoop earring fragment with a smooth, light-colored surface against a white background.
The image shows a single penannular (nearly circular but with a gap) earring component. It is C-shaped with both ends rounded and slightly flared. The surface appears polished and of a yellowish/tan color, consistent with light organic material or shell, with no visible metal settings. No hieroglyphic, Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is present, and no cartouches or royal names are visible. No clearly identifiable deity iconography is visible on the object, as it is plain and lacks carved symbols. The object appears intact enough to be used as an earring fragment, with minor surface wear visible.
