It’s kind of creepy to think that an ankle once passed through here. Given the size of this, it’s very unlikely that it was opened/closed to remove it from the ancle. This means that the bone either rotted away or was broken at some point.
If the hole in the middle can fit an ancle, it’s 3-4" big. Eyeballing the brass means the ring itself is probably 1" thick. It would be difficult to get it on and off, so I suspect it simply stayed on.

I mean, the gap looks like it just pries open. I’ve seen other copper alloy jewelry like that.
