Munakata City, Fukuoka, Japan
Pure gold ring with a diamond-shaped center.
The flowers on the front and pleated edges are brazed with thin gold plates, showing advanced metalworking techniques.
This ring is believed to have come from Silla because it is similar to one that was excavated from the royal tomb in Gyeongju on the Korean Peninsula.
