Openwork Ring

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Openwork Ring by its maker is a wide, green, cylindrical ring with a flat top and bottom. The ring has a weathered appearance with visible signs of aging and wear. Its surface features an openwork design with curved and linear cutouts, creating a pattern that allows for visibility through the ring. The green coloration, likely a result of patination, is uneven and speckled with brown spots. The ring's band is thick and sturdy, suggesting it was made from a durable material. The background of the image is a dark gray surface that contrasts with the ring's green hue.
