Description

A long, heavily corroded iron object stands upright, its surface rough and pitted with flaking crust. Its top is broken and irregular, and the lower part tapers to a point, with a faint central ridge running along its length. It is photographed against a plain grey backdrop, with a small number label at the lower right corner.
