Ring with Twisted Coil Motif

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Golden ring with twisted coil motif, by artist unknown. The ring is circular and made of gold-colored metal. It is a hollow ring with one opening at the top. The outer surface of the ring features 14 small coils or spirals that are twisted together to form a rope-like pattern. The coils are irregularly shaped and vary slightly in size. The ring appears to be made of a thick, heavy metal and has a textured surface. The background of the image is a plain gray surface.
