Description

A long iron pin stands upright against a plain grey background, with a rounded knob at the top and a shaft heavily encrusted with rust and soil. The corrosion forms rough, lumpy surfaces along the whole length, and the lower end ends bluntly. A single object is shown on its own, with no scale or label in the frame.
