Engraved Ring

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows the "Engraved Ring" by an unknown artist. The ring is made of gold and has a smooth, rounded band. The band is thick in width and oval in cross-section. It features an engraved design on the top, which appears to be an abstract motif. The design consists of a curved line with two swirls on either side. The ring is displayed on a white, foam-like material. The background of the image is light gray. The lighting highlights the texture and details of the ring. The engraved design is positioned at the top center of the ring. The foam-like material fills most of the background.
