| Obverse description | Cast brass proto-monetary bead of irregular annular form, exhibiting a characteristic asymmetric toroidal body with a prominent convex boss or knob on one side and a roughly oval central perforation. The surface is undecorated and entirely plain, displaying a smooth, rounded profile with naturally uneven contours consistent with primitive casting techniques. The patina is a rich olive-golden brass tone with areas of reddish-brown oxidation and surface corrosion, attesting to considerable age and use. |
