Description

A single long, slender pin of pale bone runs vertically down the frame, mounted on a pale card. It has a rounded head above a slightly swollen neck, and the shaft narrows gently toward a blunt lower end. The surface looks weathered and pitted, with some darker spots, and blue handwritten marks show along the bottom edge of the card.
