A thick silver anklet forms an open ring, its surface densely engraved with alternating eight-pointed stars and diagonal zig-zags. The band widens at the bottom and is cinched near the ends by raised, ribbed collars. Two flat, square caps terminate the object, each stamped with a central star. Recessed carvings in the muted gray metal are darkened, highlighting the geometric rhythm that covers the heavy, curved frame.
