A silver nose ring is shaped into a slender, open hoop. One terminal flattens into a rounded teardrop pierced by a small hole, while the opposite end tapers into a fine, sharp point. Fine horizontal grooves decorate the lower right portion of the band. Dark patches of tarnish mark the silver surface, contrasting with the smooth curve of the circular form.
