Ring in Quatrefoil Shape

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a gold ring with a quatrefoil shape. The ring is made of gold and has a smooth, shiny surface. It is shaped like a quatrefoil, with four rounded lobes that are connected in the middle. The ring appears to be a simple band with no visible gemstones or engravings. The quatrefoil design is symmetrical, with each lobe being roughly equal in size and shape. The ring is lying on a black textured surface, which provides a stark contrast to the gold color of the ring. The background surface appears to be made up of small, raised bumps or nodules that give it a rough texture. The overall appearance of the ring suggests that it may be an antique or vintage piece. The Ring in Quatrefoil Shape is by Artist Unknown.
