A silver nose ring features a large wire hoop attached to a broad crescent-shaped base. Coiled wires wrap the hoop's ends where they meet the base, which is adorned with an intricate filigree of minute spheres and interwoven wire loops. Numerous small, round beads dangle from the outer edge, while a tiny triangular point topped by a single sphere projects from the inner edge toward the hoop, which opens on the left.
