Description

A long, narrow iron object, heavily encrusted with rust and corrosion, runs vertically through the frame. It is broad at the top, where the end looks broken, and tapers to a point at the bottom. Its surface is pitted and rough, and it is photographed against a pale grey ground on a card mount with a printed code in the lower corner.
