The gold content of this reddish ring is about 91.75%. It was produced by casting and has no flaws or traces of welding. The ring is broad on the top and narrow on the bottom, with a rectangular face engraved with a box pattern. The ring was found in a box of religious instruments, but whether it was used independently or was an ornament on Buddhist payer beads is not clear.
