It is max.3.7mm thick.One side is roughly flatter than the other, and in section it is an unequal hexagon. The inside and outside edges are angled.Tooling marks are present especially on the angled outside edges and on the flatter underside.Rings such as this are thought to be multi-purpose and probably for hanging from belts on which to suspend keys, purses and other everday items.
