Description

A blurred, enlarged view of a small engraved object shown on a pale mount, with a thick curved outline across the upper left. Inside it, a rectangular field is divided by a horizontal bar, with dark oval and irregular shapes below and a hook-like curved form at the right. Because the image is out of focus, surface detail and the object's edges are hard to make out.
