Description

A long, narrow iron object with a rough, pitted and encrusted surface fills most of the frame, standing upright on a pale grey card. Its corrosion is heavy and dark, and the top end is slightly wider than the base, which tapers. A black scale bar with a small hole at one end sits to the right, giving the size.
