Description

A stippled pen drawing on a pale sheet shows two long, slender weapons with pointed tips at the upper end, crossing each other diagonally. A lobed, bulbous central piece binds them together, and their lower ends spread into fan-shaped flanges. A faint pencil mark and a small dark spot appear near the top of the sheet.
