A silver nose ring, shaped in an open circle, features a rod that transitions from smooth on the left to closely spaced, ribbed bands on the right. At the top left, the metal flattens into an oval pierced by a small hole. Opposite this, the right end tapers into a thin, flattened point. The piece exhibits dark tarnishing and a weathered texture throughout.
