Description

A single open hoop of metal, round in outline with a smooth, rounded cross-section, lying flat on a dark textured cloth. One end tapers to a point at the left and overlaps the body of the hoop, which is thicker and rounded. Light highlights run along the curve, and a small blemish shows near the bottom edge.
