Ring with Stepped Quatrefoil

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Gold ring with a quatrefoil design on a textured black background. The ring has a simple band with a quatrefoil-shaped decoration at the top, with a four-petal flower-like pattern. The band is thin and smooth, with a subtle pattern etched into it on either side of the quatrefoil. The background is a dark grey or black textured surface, with a rough, speckled appearance. The lighting is soft, casting a slight shadow to the right of the ring. The image is a close-up shot, with the ring centered in the frame, titled "Ring with Stepped Quatrefoil".
