The image depicts two spiral copper rings.

The artifact consists of two spiral rings made from copper with multiple coils. The rings have a reddish-brown patina typical of aged copper. The ends of the coils are slightly open, and the rings are crafted with a consistent and uniform thickness throughout. The simplicity of the design suggests utility or common adornment, rather than ceremonial or highly decorative use.
