Description

A single long, slender metal implement runs the full height of the frame. It has a rounded tip at the top, a thin shaft, a small knob-like swelling near the lower end, and a flat blade that widens and then tapers to a rounded end with a small notch on one side. The dark, weathered surface stands out against a plain light grey backdrop.
