Ring
Flat hoop edged by twisted wire. Leftward key meander formed of double rows of minute granulation. The "odd man" indicates the join of the ring band. Too fragile for everyday use, this ring may have been intended as funerary jewelry, or may have been part of a bracelet, or other cylindrical ornament.
