Small gold ring in encrustation with x-ray slides. 57.03 grams, approx. 2" x 1-1/2" x 1-1/2". About 3/4 of the outside of this tiny ring is showing, the rest completely embedded in a thick piece of white encrustation whose reason for existence is apparent on the bottom, where rust from an iron object remains, the reddish-gold ring with 3-band design and so small as to be for a child or very small woman, the whole piece somewhat similar to lot 1323 from our Auction #10, which was featured on the cover of Meylach's book Diving to a Flash of Gold and sold for $11,000 plus buyer's fee. From the Populo site.Recovered from: Spanish 1733 Fleet, Florida Keys
