The figure is depicted in a reclined position, on the ground, and leans on a shield with his left arm, while with his right hand he touches another shield on top of an armor, with a shield. Probably a votive representation or of lamentation towards a comrade who died in a military act. The ring is formed of hollow sheet gold. Wear marks and little missing on the bezel edge.
