    6 inches. Do you mean 6 inches diameter or 6 inches circumference?

    6 inches is way too big for a ring.

    Apologies for taking so long here’s a photo of the size which I thought was bigger and another showing more detail. 82983BCB-7F99-4A48-86B1-BB57372ADA8B.jpeg A58922B1-D801-4511-AFE1-4CCAEBED9941.jpeg

    Searching for ancient bronze items with knobs or balls carved with concentric rings, this is the best I come up with.

    Maybe something along these lines. The Getty images don't have measurements in the description but you might be able to see them on the museum website.

    Darn I lost the link to this picture. But it was described as 3 inches in diameter and pre thai bronze bracelet. I don't know how a 3-in outside diameter could be considered a bracelet unless for a newborn infant, LOL.

    3 inches diameter is too large to be ancient bronze ring money / proto money...?
