Description

A heavily corroded iron object with a rough, cracked crust of rust, shown upright against a plain pale background. A rounded top section has a round opening through its upper part, and a broader, uneven body with deep cracks runs down below. The surface is pitted and flaking, so the original outline is hard to read.

English, translated from the original record
