Description

A single closed-looking ring of twisted wire, with a rope-like spiral pattern running around its whole circumference. The ring is slightly oval and its ends meet at the top, where one end is plain and smooth. It is shown flat on a pale grey ground, lit from the upper left so the twists cast dark shadows.
