A gold ring owned by a priest named Sienamun, ca. 664-525 BCE
The symbols spell out the name "sA-m-Imn": Sienamun.
Literal translation of the symbols comes out to "Son of (the god) Amun"
while the first two lines indicate he was a priest: "Hm-nTr" and a certified horse girl (i.e. a caretaker of horses): "imy-r smsmw"

The scene showing metal workers is part of a wall depicting different professions in the tomb of Rekhmire', vizier of Tuthmosis III and Amenophis II. Above, the fires are kept ablaze with foot-operated bellows; below, the men are casting bronze doors in a large mould. The inscription states that the bronze is brought from Asia, from the land of Retjenu.
