Source Description
This ring has a plain hoop that tapers slightly at the ends, collars of smooth wire, and a filigree leaf (possibly once with an enamel inset) on either shoulder. The bezel is formed of smooth wires with ten granulated teeth and bars over the top to hold the inset, most likely a scarab, which is now missing.
