iron band
Rigid metal hoop
An iron band is a strip of iron shaped into a ring or loop, typically used to reinforce or bind something: iron bands around a barrel, an iron band securing the wagon wheel.
The phrase appears in fantasy contexts for rigid metal cuffs or restraints, and metaphorically for anything that constricts tightly: An iron band of pain tightened around his chest.
