Description

Two long, corroded iron objects are shown side by side on a pale background, both running vertically across the frame. The left one is a straight, narrow rod of fairly even width. The right one has a flat cross-guard near the top, a narrow grip below it and a tapering point, and both surfaces are rough, dark and pitted with corrosion.
