Description

A long, narrow iron object with a heavily corroded, pitted and flaking grey-brown surface, tapering to a point at the top. It stands upright on a pale grey card mount, and a number label sits in the lower right corner. The lower end is thicker and ends near the bottom edge of the frame, with no hilt or handle visible.
