Description

A small photograph mounted on a pale card with a grey margin shows one object filling most of the frame. The object has a roughly rectangular outline with slightly rounded edges, a dark, mottled and pitted surface, and paler patches. The image is out of focus, so fine surface detail and the form of its ends cannot be made out.
