The sculpture depicts a circular band with a decorative element on top resembling a semi-circular plaque. The subject is a metallic circlet, potentially a bracelet or armband. The top section, shaped like an arch, is adorned with geometric designs, including a central star-like pattern and inscriptions or numerical reliefs. The material appears to be metal, possibly iron or a similar dark-colored alloy, indicated by the texture and shading. The sculpture has a rugged texture and aged appearance, depicted in a simple, monochromatic tone focusing on form and surface details.
