Jewelled Thumb-Ring
The Jewelled Thumb-Ring by Unknown Artist: Two cylindrical metal objects with lids, made of silver or white metal, are side by side on a flat surface. The objects are short and wide with flat tops. The metal is decorated with a repeating pattern of teardrop shapes. The teardrop shapes have rounded bottoms and pointy tops. The teardrops form a band around the middle section of each object. Inside the band are raised floral designs. The floral designs on the object on the left consist of a stem with two leaves and one flower; on the right, a stem with two flowers and one leaf are present. The top and bottom edges of each object are decorated with a band of small teardrops. The background is light grey.
