One side is thick and wide, becomes thinner and narrower on both sides and there is an opening right opposite the thickest, widest part. The object is decorated on the outside with raised plates in the shape of a semi-circle. The bronze color is still present on a large part of the object, but green corrosion spots can also be seen. The suggested function as a bracelet seems unlikely, because the circular shape is too narrow for a wrist and the object is too heavy to carry. The exact function remains unknown. The origin is unclear. According to captions of mr. Bakker is the origin Afghanistan
