A long, narrow iron object stands upright and fills most of the tall frame, tapering slightly toward its lower end. Its surface is heavily corroded, crusted with rough, pitted grey deposits, and its top edge is irregular and broken. A thin border and a small label at the bottom edge frame the print.
