Tridacna shell ring with a creamy-yellow patina and a ground unpolished surface. A central cut mark extends over approximately one half of the circumference of the ring's exterior; the shell inside the cut mark is white in colour. The cross-section is rectangular and there are some indentations and chips along the edges. [Heather Donoghue 30.05.2012]
