A gold ring features a central oval frame holding a head carved from dark-swirled green stone. The face is detailed with an open mouth and hair swept right, with small diamond chips set into the eyes. A thin horizontal crack runs through the center of the face. On either side, the gold band is engraved with scrolling patterns that extend away from the setting.
