A dark turquoise green faience ring features a thick circular band and a flat, horizontal oval face with a matte, slightly pitted texture. Deeply incised symbols decorate the face: three parallel horizontal dashes, a central vertical shape with a heart-shaped base and crossbar, and a large U-shaped form containing a vertical stroke, resting atop a horizontal bar.
