A small orange penannular (open-loop) earring fragment shown isolated against a white background.
The image depicts a single, ring-shaped jewelry element with a gap typical of a penannular earring. Two opposing terminals rise slightly above the main circular loop, and the surface has a smooth, polished appearance with subtle translucency/shine consistent with a carved or formed stone bead component. No metal setting, suspension pin, or ornamental attachment is clearly visible in the provided view. No hieroglyphic, Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is present, and no cartouches or royal names can be identified. The object is consistent in color with carnelian, though the material identification is based on appearance and may not be fully confirmable from the photo alone.
