A smooth, rounded artifact with a central hole, made of a glossy material.

The artifact is spherical and features a polished surface with an orange hue. At the center, there is a hole which appears to have traces of green patina, suggesting the presence of bronze or copper. The simplicity and concentrated wear suggest it's a bead or element of a larger piece.
