Description

A long, leaf-shaped metal object with a pointed tip and a narrow tapering tang at the base. Its surface is heavily corroded, with pitted and crusty encrustation across the blade. It stands upright against a pale grey backdrop, shown alone, and the blade widens to a rounded shoulder before narrowing into the tang.
