Small gold finger-stall shaped like a rounded cap with a slightly flared rim and a longitudinal ridge or crease.

The image shows a single small object photographed against a light background. It has the form of a finger stall/cover: a rounded, dome-like top with a seam or shallow longitudinal crease running down the surface and a slightly wider, open rim at the bottom. The surface appears uniformly metallic and yellow-gold, consistent with thin sheet gold. No visible hieroglyphs, cartouches, inscriptions, or iconographic figures can be seen on the surface in this view. No Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is apparent. The condition appears intact with clear metallic luster; no obvious breaks are visible, though minor surface wear/dimples may be present.
