Description (Physical description)
One of twenty four bone and horn archer's thumb rings. This example is made of bone, with the marrow core being hollowed out. The bone has browned with age and has a deep crack on the edge, which could be a cut mark. There is a ridge along the side of the ring, which is caused by the bowstring wearing against the marrow.
