Description, scan 2
A heavily corroded ring, open on one side, with a dark, lumpy and pitted surface and rough edges, shown centred on a pale card mount. Handwritten marks sit along the lower edge of the mount, and a small code appears in the bottom right corner. The ring is roughly circular and about three-quarters closed, and its surface looks encrusted rather than smooth.
