- Two rings of corroded metal lie on a plain grey backdrop, one above the other. The upper ring is thick and dark with a crusted surface, its ends overlapping at the top, while the lower ring is smaller and more open with pale metallic highlights along its edge. Their surfaces look rough and pitted, with patches of light metal showing through the dark corrosion.
