Description (Physical description)
One of twenty four bone and horn archer's thumb rings. This example is made of bone, with the marrow visible through the centre in a stripe on the exterior. The exterior is rough along the marrow, with a deeply recessed section, probably from the wear of the bow string on the ring.
