An irregular, corroded iron bracelet forms a pitted, organic circle. Its matte surface is mottled with dark gray and deep brown, punctuated by patches of reddish-orange rust. In the foreground, the metal ends overlap, one resting atop the other in a jagged, thickened point like a weathered thorn. This section tapers as it curves toward the back. The weathered metal exhibits an uneven, rough texture throughout its thin, rustic circumference.
