The Archer's thumb ring by Kiệt gỗ is a ring made of orange and white stone or agate. The ring is smooth, glossy and rounded in shape. It has a flat top and rounded bottom. Most of the ring has an orange hue with white cloudy streaks and cloudy white on the bottom side. A light source on the left casts a shadow on the right. The background gradient fades from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
