Description

A long pin photographed against a plain pale background, filling the tall narrow frame. The head at the top is a small ribbed sphere set on a shaft of tightly plaited or twisted wire that tapers towards a fine point. Near the lower part a loose coil of wire is wound around the shaft, and the point runs down to the bottom edge.
