Description

A long iron object photographed upright against a plain grey background. The metal is heavily corroded with a rough, pitted surface, and the upper part is broader, with a clear break in the middle where the piece has split. The lower section narrows steadily to a point, and a small number label sits at the lower right corner of the frame.
